NOVEMBER 2024

Presented by Anthony Kearns, Practice Group Leader, Lander & Rogers

Lawyers are taught to advise.  They rationally consider a problem, use their expertise to find the answer and advocate for a solution.  If you’re trying to lead change in a complex human system, this approach rarely works andfew human systems are as complex as lawyer systems.

In this engaging workshop, Anthony will draw on your experience of working with lawyers in change initiatives and explore why they rarely work.  He will also draw on his extensive career (and fair share of failures) working with lawyers and lawyer systems in adaptive work and developing capability in adaptive leadership.  Together we will then consider how to address the following adaptive challenge; 

• Despite rapid advances in technology, the legal supply chain remains predominantly a human system…for now.

• The development of generative AI seems to present a significant challenge to the legal profession.

• Meeting this challenge will require significant changes in lawyer behaviours, mindsets and assumptions about how work is done.

• How do we do this work with a relatively homogeneous population with such an uncomfortable relationship with change and complexity?

Anthony doesn’t profess to have the entire solution to this challenge, but will share the key things he has learned over the last 20 years working in and with lawyer systems.  He will also share why he feels the continued success of the legal profession depends on embracing its humanity.
