Carlisle Legal Breakfast Briefing
Creating the conditions for radical change
The pandemic has seen massive upheaval in the way legal services are delivered. It has brought home the reality of a radically changing legal landscape. Whilst huge strides have been made, ongoing change is a given in an increasingly fast-paced world. “Client experience” will define the way legal services are delivered in the near future. A LawTech UK 2021 Report estimated unmet legal needs to be worth £11.4bn per year. Law firms are investing less than 1% on R&D on how to tap into this latent market; the figure is similar for continuous learning. Yet the Lawtech start-up market grew by 101% in the 3 years to 2021. At same time socio-political issues such as climate change, demand that we think deeply about who the law serves and how.
Getting on board with the direction of travel asks a lot of super busy people. There are no short-cuts; owning the change you need to make is the only way. In this session we will explore the ingredients which make up a future-facing business. What does it take to collaborate and create new ways of working? And how do you do this whilst hybrid or remote working? The workshop will be interactive and include time for breakout conversation.
Outline points:
The ingredients for future success:
a) Taking stock and setting intention
b) Understanding what “client experience” means
c) Senior leadership relationships and behaviours
