The globalisation of clients and law firms has made managing a partnership even more of a challenge in today’s business world. The role of managing partners is becoming tougher, as traditional ways of working together are becoming harder to maintain – the current demise of the traditional lockstep is evidence of this. However, technology is one of many areas that has lent a new edge to managing law firms, bringing them more in line with the rest of the professional services industry and their clients.

Whether exploring new technology to enhance productivity or to establish systems and protocols that improve client service, it is clear technology has a key role to play in achieving competitive advantage and also helping to unlock the future of the legal industry.
