The
5th Legal Forum Asia, held on 16 May 2018 at the Marina Bay Sands in
Singapore, was a truly inspiring conference. We spoke to so many
interesting, motivated and passionate people about their role in the
future of law. This annual networking event hosted by leading Australian
conference group Chilli IQ brings
together an impressive group of legal services sector providers from
across Asia to learn about and debate crucial topics affecting the legal
industry. You will gain insights from and exchange ideas with an
impressive group of legal and commercial professionals from a wide range
of backgrounds including international and independent law firms;
in-house counsel; legaltech & software solutions providers as well
as risk and compliance professionals.
Also attending the 5th Legal Forum Asia was Lesley Hobbs, CEO of Cognatio Law. Lesley spoke to Stephen Lai of leading online legal media group Conventus Law on
the subject of the rapid rise of NewLaw in Asia, and the role NewLaw
will play in the future of the legal industry. In the below video
(Conventus Law production), Lesley Hobbs highlights the feature
characteristic of all legal services firms; whether NewLaw, OldLaw, or
BigLaw; which is that the key to survival is being able to innovate and
adapt.
Lesley
goes on to speak about how NewLaw firms must ensure that they have the
technology, relevant experts and legal professionals prepared and
available to go on assignment, in order to compete with BigLaw firms
which generally have the bigger platforms, more sizeable resources and
human capital capabilities. Where NewLaw firms stand out is with their
ability to be nimble within tight deadline situations. Watch the short
video above, from the 5th Legal Forum Asia, for full details.
Eric Chin,
who coined the term ‘NewLaw’, spoke on the state of the APAC legal
industry at the 5th Legal Forum Asia in Singapore. Cognatio Law was very
pleased to have been included in his core presentation under “Lawyer
Secondment Firms”.
