Hosted by People in Legal, this conversation from Legal Innovation and Tech Fest features Alison Laird, Director of the Centre for Legal Innovation, in discussion with Roni Millard, Founder and Health and Wellness Consultant at The Wellbeing Edge.

They explore a critical question for the profession: are lawyers being prepared for the future of legal work?

Drawing on insights from the upcoming Future of Law Report, Alison shares how the role of the lawyer is changing and where the profession is falling behind. Expectations are shifting. Clients, employers, and teams are asking more. The response is not keeping pace.

Key themes include:

• The continued shift of work into in house teams
• Pressure on law firms to rethink how they deliver value
• Growing demand for tech enabled lawyers from day one
• A widening gap between legal education and industry needs
• The need for collaboration across the profession to address future skills

This session gives a clear view of what is changing and where action is needed now.
