I read a very interesting book last year called “The End of Lawyers” by Richard Susskind. My main takeway from it, was that new entrants (e.g. supermarkets, financial services businesses) to the legal profession permitted by the so called “Tesco Law” would mean major changes to the legal sector, but that great opportunities would open up for the entrepreneurial and forward thinking practices out there. Certainly very thought provoking stuff and judging by the high number of visitors at the IRIS stand at the Legal IT show this week, the legal profession is really starting to wake up to the challenges they face and how technology can help them respond and thrive in a new more automated world.
