The legal profession needs more than law. Whether you are a student, a
law school, a university, a law firm or an in-house legal team, The
Legal Team of the Future is the definitive guide to understanding and
building the holistic skills required of those working in legal services
now and in the future. Highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary
teams working collaboratively to solve legal problems, the book
introduces a 'Law+' model for the profession, comprising sixteen skills
across four quadrants: Law+People, Law+Business, Law+Change and
Law+Technology. As well as outlining each of the skills, the book
explains how to build those skills as an individual, a law firm, an
in-house team, a university or a law school. Designed for both lawyers
and business professionals working in law, The Legal Team of the Future
dispels the myth that the 'lawyer of the future' is solely responsible
for the future of the profession, instead focusing on diverse
individuals working within their own specializations. The Law+ model is
more than an academic theory, containing real-world examples and case
studies and devised by an expert in legal innovation who is still
working in the field on a daily basis. This book is the guide you need
to navigate the future of the legal profession and to stay ahead of the
pack in delivering legal services to clients.
