Innovation, innovation everywhere, so lets all have a drink

Greek philosopher Plato once said that "out of necessity comes invention" and out of invention derives innovation.

In the first of a three-part series, HBA Legal looks at the current legal landscape and the recent demand for law firms to innovate in order to stay competitive.

The practice of law has remained relatively untouched over the last century. A system established in the early 1900's¹,negligible changes have taken place in the practice of law when compared with other industries.

So why this lack of change? The underlying theme why law firms stutter in innovating their business is because of an 'all talk no action' approach. While lawyers may aspire to change, there are mental barriers instilled into the structure of the profession.
