Recently, I was asked a fascinating career question by a Senior Partner at a law firm:
"In the future, if I am to make a career move to another law firm, is revenues and clients going to be the most important thing to a new employer, or is it going to be my commitment to tech, AI, and speeding up the process?"
This question strikes at the heart of where the legal industry is heading. While traditional metrics like revenue generation and client relationships have always been paramount, the landscape is shifting.
Law firms are increasingly valuing innovation—partners who embrace technology, leverage AI, and streamline processes are becoming indispensable in a competitive market.
My perspective? It’s not an either/or situation.
The most sought-after partners will likely be those who can:
- Deliver strong financial performance through robust client portfolios.
- Champion innovation by integrating technology into their practice to enhance efficiency and client service.
- Adapt to change in an industry where AI and tech are no longer optional but essential tools for success.
The legal profession is evolving rapidly, and future leaders will need to strike a balance between these priorities.
