Remaking the legal services ecosystem

Remaking the legal services ecosystem is by Jason Moyse, one of our regular contributors. I am pleased to advise that is addition to sharing his informed and insightful perspectives, Jason is also one of the 20 globally-sourced interviewees on the The College of Law’s Master of Legal Business, an innovative program for all professionals working in all parts of the legal services supply chain (1).

As much as talk in legal and broader commerce overall these days centres on David v. Goliath or even the clash of the titans (think BigLaw), there’s a very faulty set of assumptions around this type of thinking. Taking the view that it’s us versus them unduly limits the possibilities not just for better delivery of current services but also the creation of new forms of value in the best interests of the ultimate client. An ecosystem approach with some level of coordination among many contributors provides the best and most interesting outcomes. It’s also a key driver of innovation.

I love innovation and the incredible pace of change happening across all aspects of the economy, and obviously I have a particular interest in the legal services industry.

Lawyers should be playing in the sandbox

In 2017 The Law Society of England & Wales published Capturing Technological Innovation in Legal Services. The report provides an ’empowering narrative and practical examples to move legal tech beyond ideas and innovation for innovation’s sake’. But IMO it has not received the worldwide attention it deserves.

Just as I thought! Book review of Remaking Law Firms

I recently remarked to a colleague that just because I’m biased doesn’t mean I’m not right. Double negatives aside (or not), it’s been really interesting to watch the reaction to the remarkable Remaking Law Firms: Why and How by George Beaton and Imme Kaschner.
