In this session we will discuss how demand for legal services is changing, for instance in terms of pricing, staffing and requested services. The impact of technology on our work is undeniable, but how this will impact firms from the inside? If AI will replace legal commodity work, this may impact pricing of services and training of future talents? And with legal expenditure under pressure, clients may no longer accept large legal teams in the future and push for differently leveraged teams.

 

The panel will discuss how clients’ issues and demands will influence the organisation of law firms and partnerships, to ensure that they continue to meet the clients’ demands and add value to their businesses. Topics such as pricing, staffing and different partnership and cooperation models will be discussed, and after this session, participants leave with a better understanding of how law firms can stand the challenge of time to keep matching clients’ legal needs and expectations.
