Despite what you may have heard, the robots are not coming to take our jobs. Well, maybe some lawyer jobs will go away. But there will be new jobs for people with legal training that are created by the technology and its impact on every facet of our lives.

Now, I am not a fortune teller, and I can’t see into the future, but I can see what is going on around the legal profession with regards to technology. And I think it provides a lot of opportunity for solo and small firm lawyers in how we run our practices.

In this episode we will dispel the myth of a dystopian lawyer-less future and instead talk about the importance of legal skills in the 21st Century.

TAKEAWAY: there is always going to be a need for lawyers, and technology is not going to change that. What will change is the role of lawyers and tasks we do. And it will be important to be able to adapt to those changes and to utilize technology to make yourself more efficient and effective in your law practice.
