Description

Regulating the legal profession is a boon as well as a barrier in many jurisdictions. Nomadic lawyers and legal adjacent business are changing the legal profession’s dynamics, challenging these traditional barriers. With the definition of ‘legal services’ or the ‘practice of law’ becoming more blurred, where are the lines? This panel will highlight pressing developments and proposed solutions through a multi-jurisdictional lens.
