Flipping the Legal Profession

On Tuesday eve, the New South Wales Law Society released it’s flip Report into the Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession.

Quite a herculean feat I must say, boiling down the testimony of 103 witnesses over a six month period into 12 key findings and 19 recommendations within its 116 pages.

“Disruption to me seems to be something that everyone thinks happens to someone else – we’ve all sort of said [that] in the smug, snug complacency of the back seat of an Uber while watching the beginning of the end for [the taxi] industry.”
