One year ago, a period of "drastic change" was predicted for litigators. Not only did that come to pass, but more change is looming for lawyers in this space. On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes return guest Jason Betts and first-time guest Christine Tran, both partners at Herbert Smith Freehills, to discuss the year that was in litigation, what predictions for this area of law came to fruition and what has surprised litigators, and how such change is set to impact firms and clients in 2022. The trio also reflect on the regulatory and parliamentary environment for the coming year, the evolving nature of relationships with in-house teams, new responsibilities for leaders of litigation teams, and Mr Betts and Ms Tran's top tips for litigators to ensure success in the post-pandemic market.
