2025 Partner & Counsel Retreat Agenda

Partners Retreat Eau Palm Beach Resort

Our 2024 Partners and Special Counsel Retreat theme is CONNECTED. This theme encapsulates our relationships and connections with clients, decision makers in businesses, government entities, and to one another. The concept of being connected highlights the synergy and potential for cross-selling and success, both of which are fundamental values at Adams and Reese. During our annual retreat, we have the chance to forge new relationships with fellow lawyers and GR Advisors across our footprint.

As we gather this year, we anticipate discovering where our Firm’s journey will lead.
