]]> Practitioners will not need reminding that these are difficult times in the legal services industry. From the devastating effects of the ongoing credit crisis on conveyancing revenues, to ongoing imperative to drive down costs in litigation and potential changes mooted in last year’s Legal Services Bill, it is clear that we are in a period of profound change.

However, all is not lost. With change comes fresh opportunity, new niches for practitioners who can adapt to the changing circumstances. Richard Susskind put it, in his somewhat apocalyptically titled The End of Lawyers: Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services, “I believe that lawyers, in order to survive and prosper, must respond creatively and forcefully to the shifting demands of what is a rapidly evolving legal marketplace”.

In an operating environment where “adapt or die” seems to be the mantra of the day, we must look to innovation, in particular the harnessing of now maturing information technologies, so as to develop new models of service delivery and collaboration. The choice is stark: either invent the future, or be consigned to history.

In this blog, we will share our tentative thoughts on the road forward, and welcome your comments, criticisms and contributions.
