International Law

Every business needs to regularly review its future focus:  what are its strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, threats?

What is its business model? What resources are needed? What is its competitive advantage?

The legal profession, like others, has been affected by technology and competition. The Times Online is running a series of 6 draft extracts from Richard Susskind's new book The End of Lawyers? under the heading, Will Lawyers exist in 100 years?. Here's the first extract.

31 October Part 2: A decade on: much changed, much still to unfold

3 November Part 3: How the traditional role of lawyers will change

12 November Part 4: Outside investors will demand a very different type of law firm

19 November Part 5: No one has a vision for the next generation of lawyers

28 November Part 6: Only a foolhardy lawyer will fail to embrace change
