The legal industry is in a state of change—and so too are the legal professionals who make the industry run. With the introduction of artificial intelligence and other new technologies, information professionals and others have had to learn new skills, engage with shifting organizational priorities, and find new motivators in training others and accomplishing their work. Based off of the Thomson Reuters Future of Professionals Report, this webinar provides the data to show how the workplace is actively changing – and the skills that legal professionals will need to know to be part of its future.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Law firm, government law librarians, and relevant to academic community.

TAKEAWAYS:

1. Attendees will distinguish how the legal industry’s priorities are changing–and how they may not be the same between firms, their clients, and the government.
2. Attendees will identify benchmarks and how professional skills may need to change because of new technologies and how those technologies can both enhance and threaten human talent.
3. Attendees will discuss what motivators help legal professionals to do their jobs better, and how new technologies may influence workplace hopes, challenges, and overall happiness.
