Legal Futures

Join this seminar session to hear an informed opinion from an acknowledged “legal thought leader” on what the legal services market of the future will be and how you as a prospective lawyer or law related professional services provider can leverage your LLB degree into a successful professional career. 

The era of exclusive relationships with a lawyer sitting behind a mahogany desk administering expensive advice is coming to a close. Clients demand flexibility and choice in the delivery of legal services. For example, many are seeking a medical clinic model where other service providers work in conjunction with lawyers to provide targeted and as-needed services.

• 35 year legal career, law professor, international legal services consultant to “Big 4”, editor Litigation Management Report, author of 7 books on legal services management
• Chair RCMP Forensics Board, mentor to 900 Canadian students on the “UK law school advantage"
