Spotlight on law

With the rapid expansion of ‘legal tech’ disrupting what’s possible across the sector, partners, business leaders and managers in both small and large law firms must find a way to become more adaptable, agile and forward thinking than ever before.

Challenges may include

Integrating new technologies including artificial intelligence and automation tools into existing workflows

  • Adapting business models to meet evolving client expectations, including:
  • Differentiating against alternative legal service providers
  • More effective work processes vs a focus on just billable hours
  • Speed of delivery
  • Adaptation of internal processes to meet changing regulatory obligations
  • Managing the impact of globalisation of services, adapting to different legal systems and cultural nuances to remain competitive
  • Implementing strategies to attract, engage, and retain talented lawyers, in a context of hybrid working
  • fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability to embrace change successfully, when focus is on ‘being a lawyer’
