The ESADE Alumni Mexico Chapter is pleased to announce its forthcoming talk ''The legal departments of the Big 4 and the future of the global legal profession'' by professor María José Esteban Ferrer.
In 2011 the Harvard Law School Center on The Legal Profession implemented a project to constantly monitor the impact on global legal services of the upswing in the provision of legal services by the Big 4, i.e. PwC, EY, Deloitte and KPMG. This talk will explain how these sophisticated financial operators have overhauled their legal networks by incorporating legal services into a new type of business solution now being promoted aggressively in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
