LexisNexis® returns in 2017 to focus on the driving force of the legal profession – people. Discover how people are faring in an industry that at times seems dominated by tech talk. Is a focus on futurism detracting from the realities of the job?
As technology continues to shake up traditional roles, disrupt business models and propagate the always-on mindset, uncertainty around the ‘people factor’ is at an all-time high. At the same time, technology is opening new opportunities for business growth and access to the legal system that did not exist before, making it a truly exciting time to be a legal professional.
Some questions that will be discussed:
- How can lawyers build their skills and adapt to evolving client demands, while still retaining the ‘personal touch?'
- How are businesses changing their focus to ensure their ‘sense of purpose’ and community commitment is heard to retain and attract employees?
- Glass half full – how the future is bright with improved opportunities for clients and access to justice due to a meshing of passionate people with technology.
- Technology – Could it be the Herculean strength or Achilles heel of lawyers?
