Takeaways From the 2025 Aon Law Firm Symposium
Release Date: December 2025The Professional Services Practice at Aon held the 22nd annual Law Firm Symposium at the JW Marriott Nashville from October 15–17, 2025. Drawing a record-breaking 530 participants, the Symposium offered a unique opportunity for law firm general counsels, managing partners, and other law firm risk management professionals to connect and to meet with representatives from all major professional liability markets who generously co-sponsored the event.
This year’s Symposium featured ten thought-provoking panels, presented by an exceptional faculty.
Panels covered the latest practice trends and risk challenges facing law firms, including:
- the continuing evolution of generative artificial intelligence use
- effective loss prevention strategies to reduce the risk of malpractice claims and enhance law firms’ abilities to defend against them
- the impact of current events and emerging risks on professional liability insurance underwriters’ decisions to insure law firms and set pricing
- the professional responsibility and regulatory risks of global law firm mergers and post-merger integration of firm systems and cultures
- the rapid evolution of alternative business structures and other innovative models that are testing long-standing rules about the ownership and operation of law firms
- strategies for cultivating a proactive risk management culture
- workforce problems shaping the future of the legal industry
This dynamic event underscores Aon’s commitment to bring together law firms and insurance markets to discuss timely risk management issues and to support law firms as they address evolving challenges in risk and human capital.
The next Law Firm Symposium will take place at The Boca Raton in Florida, October 28-30, 2026.
