The legal team of the future : law+skills

The legal profession needs more than law. Whether you are a student, a law school, a university, a law firm or an in-house legal team, The Legal Team of the Future is the definitive guide to understanding and building the holistic skills required of those working in legal services now and in the future.

Highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary teams working collaboratively to solve legal problems, the book introduces a 'Law+' model for the profession, comprising sixteen skills across four quadrants: Law+People, Law+Business, Law+Change and Law+Technology.

As well as outlining each of the skills, the book explains how to build those skills as an individual, a law firm, an in-house team, a university or a law school.

Designed for both lawyers and business professionals working in law, The Legal Team of the Future dispels the myth that the 'lawyer of the future' is solely responsible for the future of the profession, instead focusing on diverse individuals working within their own specializations.

The Law+ model is more than an academic theory, containing real-world examples and case studies and devised by an expert in legal innovation who is still working in the field on a daily basis.

This book is the guide you need to navigate the future of the legal profession and to stay ahead of the pack in delivering legal services to clients.
