THE Singapore Academy of Law will unveil a co-working space for small law firms at the upcoming State Courts Towers on Havelock Road.
The law academy hopes that by helping small law firms cut operational costs and inefficiencies through providing shared amenities and facilities - such as meeting rooms and office equipment, these firms can focus on adopting technology at their law practices. In turn, they can continue to provide accessible and affordable legal services to the man-in-the-street.
SAL will hold an information session on CLICKS @ State Courts at the end of March this year. Details on pricing and lease matters will be released by this July. Lawyers and law firms will then be invited to apply to operate at the co-working space. A committee will assess applications and successful candidates will be notified by this September.
Serene Wee, chief executive of SAL, said: “Advancing the access to justice is an important agenda for the legal profession, but the solution is not in the hands of the legal profession alone. We hope to achieve two key objectives with CLICKS @ State Courts. Firstly, we want to help our small law firms future-proof themselves. Technology is an unstoppable force and they must keep up, so they can transform into next-generation practices.
