About this book

The legal sector is being hit by profound economic and technological changes (digitalization, open data, blockchain, artificial intelligence ...) forcing law firms and legal departments to become ever more creative in order to demonstrate their added value.

To help lawyers meet this challenge, this book draws on the perspectives of lawyers and creative specialists to analyze the concept and life cycle of legal innovations, techniques and services, whether related to legislation, legal engineering, legal services, or legal strategies, as well as the role of law as a source of creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration.

“Diagrams are incorporated throughout the book to illustrate concepts and ideas and each chapter contains a full set of references for the sources referred to in the chapter. … it should provoke food for thought one hopes for managing partners and those looking for better ways to approach the delivery of law to all sorts of consumers. It raises excellent questions … . this book will provoke reflection and hopefully ideas to enable the reader to themselves innovate.” (Gill Steel, lawskills.co.uk, November 17, 2021)
