"The next board meeting of every law firm should have on its agenda the following item: why have we not read this book?"
  • Editor: Alex Davies
  • Publisher: Globe Law and Business
  • ISBN: 9781837230853
  • RRP: £159.00

The legal services industry has entered a period of change with such radical potential that it would be disingenuous for anyone to claim a reliable insight very far into the future. Nonetheless, as it is not unknown for such claims to be made, it is a mark of integrity that the various contributors to The Law Firm of 2030 restrict their projections, and even the name of their book, to the immediate/short-term. Even so, the range of issues they address is expansive, and while the anticipated impact of artificial intelligence (AI) integration features heavily, the discussion is much wider, demonstrating the range of issues that should be—but often are not—on the agenda for every law firm’s next board meeting.
