Want to Improve Law Firm Culture? Be Authentic
I never thought I would mention former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce in the same sentence as Merriam-Webster.
But a colleague recently reminded me that Merriam-Webster's word of the year for 2023 was "authentic." Defined as "not false or imitation: real, actual" or "true to one's own personality, spirit or character," many of us witnessed this special trait when we watched Kelce announce his retirement earlier this year. During the press conference, Kelce was raw and unapologetic as he recounted the significant accomplishments over his career. On one of the most emotional days of his life, he did what he always did: He showed his true self.
We hear a multitude of ideas and solutions for attracting and retaining lawyers and business professionals in today's ultra-competitive environment. Tellingly, when surveying the landscape of a multigenerational workforce operating in a mixture of hybrid and remote work, authenticity is essential to workplace satisfaction and loyalty.

COVID-19 and Lease Negotiations: Early Termination Provisions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, some tenants were able to negotiate termination agreements with their landlords. But even though a landlord may agree to terminate a lease to regain control of a defaulting tenant's space without costly and lengthy litigation, typically a defaulting tenant that otherwise has no contractual right to terminate its lease will be in a much weaker bargaining position with respect to the conditions for termination.
