NLJ this week: Changing how we work―predictions for the legal sector

75213
The legal profession is embracing diversification and new, more flexible working models, and is all the better for it, Nigel Clark, CEO of new model law firm nexa law, writes in this week’s NLJ

Clark predicts the pace of change, which jumped forward during the pandemic as social distancing requirements and infection control forced law firms to rethink office structures, will continue to accelerate. Client expectations are changing, while innovative tech and a competitive recruitment market is shaking up traditional ways of thinking.

Clark writes: ‘The traditional chambers, law firm or in-house route is looking increasingly old fashioned to the next generation of lawyers, who place more value on the personal autonomy and democracy of alternative structures.’
