The gig economy is a working pattern for individuals who hold self-employment status and pick up 'gigs' or a string of one off and short-term jobs, then receive payment for their services. This working style is becoming increasingly common in many professions, even legal industry professionals. The benefits are clear. They include flexible schedules, the ability to work remotely, even the opportunity to select projects that interest them. The gig economy provides an environment where legal professionals can tap into all the resources they need for their businesses. As we prepare to launch Expedite: Generation II, I've asked Lucas Peterson, paralegal and gig economy worker, to join me on this podcast to explore the future for the legal industry and how it's poised to take advantage of this gig explosion.
