- 29/03/10: Lord Hunt to outline vision of new professionalism at Legal Week
event
The legal profession is on the cusp of a transition, the effects of which will
have wide-ranging consequences for all forms of legal practice. While the Legal
Services Act will undoubtedly cause a shift change in the legal model, its
effects will not be as significant for large City-based law firms or those keen
to hold on to the traditional legal model. What is of wider interest, and some
say more pressing, is the issue of how to regulate the profession and how to
deal with complaints handling going forward.
Another critical theme is the transition of the legal landscape towards a
more technology-driven and multi-sourced method of resourcing legal work in the
modern law firm. As clients demand lower costs and a more transparent client
relationship with law firms, the pressure to re-engineer existing processes will
increase.
Following the sell-out success of our 2009 event, the
Future
of Legal Services Forum 2010 offers a streamed agenda that enables
you to choose the themes that interest you:
• Hear from senior political and regulatory figures on the likely form of
regulation for regional law firms and also City-based law firms
• Discuss how the dynamics of legal services will change in the future and what
strategies or technologies will improve service delivery
• Gain the very latest information on the processes and models that will allow
external investment into law firms through the Legal Services Act and
Alternative Business Structures
• Gain practical insight into the challenges and opportunities for potential
external investors such as blue chip business, financial professions and the Bar
The Future of Legal Services Forum is a unique event supported by the leading regulators, government bodies, political figures, senior law firm partners and potential partner organisations.
