The legal system doesn’t work for anyone and a revolution of change is needed to deal with the digital economy because of the failure of lawyers, global legal expert Gillian Hadfield maintained this week in a Vancouver speech.
It makes no sense that all legal work must be done by licensed lawyers who must work in firms 100 per cent owned, financed and managed by lawyers, Hadfield said. “Why aren’t we seeing innovation in the platform of legal rules and practices that support complex, intangible, high velocity, highly uncertain global collaboration?” Hadfield asked.
Hadfield has been a visiting professor at nearly a dozen prestigious institutions, an adviser to The Hague Institute for the Innovation of Law , LegalZoom and other legal tech startups. She was appointed in 2017 to the American Bar Association’s Commission on the Future of Legal Education and the World Justice Project’s Research Consortium.
