| Only a few short years ago, organisations requiring legal services faced a simple choice: whether to employ lawyers ‘in-house’ or to engage law firms, or commonly, a combination of the two. Over the last decade, consistent with overseas trends, a diverse range of new providers has emerged in the Australian legal marketplace, from NewLaw businesses, to online providers, to Law Companies and LPO/LSO, LegalTech companies, flex-lawyer businesses and legal marketplaces, to name just a few. It is a complex supply ecosystem and buyers of legal services now enjoy greater choice than ever before. There are no indicators to suggest the trend will reverse in the coming years; in all likelihood, it will accelerate. The number of new entrants, many with new business and legal service delivery models, some which may be based outside of Australia due to the forces of globalisation, continue to multiply, as do the traditional law firms reinventing their offerings. This practical and lively panel session will discuss questions such as how should law firms pivot and adapt to take advantage of the opportunities and rise to the challenges of the new legal service ecosystem? How does a legal department get fit for this future? How do providers survive and thrive and how do buyers reap the rewards? |

| Using innovative technologies to enhance your practice. The legal industry is awash with new technologies that claim to solve every problem a practitioner faces. Unfortunately for many of us, the reality of adopting new tools to improve the way we work has delivered results that can charitably be described as ‘mixed’. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way! Join us at this session to learn how to cut through the noise and identify applications that really will help your practice. You will gain practical insights from our panelists who will each have seven minutes (only!) to present their views on how best to approach legal technologies. Following these presentations a robust panel discussion will follow. | |

FLIP 2019 Podcast: Change leadership for a dynamic profession
| 1 CPD Unit Podcast |
Knowledge area:

|
| Online | |
| FLIP expresses the Law Society’s commitment to help prepare lawyers for a dynamic, uncertain and exciting future, in short, for change. Research indicates that lawyers are typically ill-equipped for change – they tend to avoid it, see it as stressful and/or a hassle, and are usually not taught how to lead or manage change in their organisations and their own working lives. This session will empower practitioners by giving them an in-depth understanding of what change looks like across the profession, and then ‘best practice’ strategies for them to set their own visions of change and to pursue them effectively. The session includes interview findings with lawyers and legal change managers, identifying the lessons of their change processes. | |
