[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 235651, member: 43563"] Hey [USER=38846]@Diana54[/USER] I've never really considered this in much detail, although I probably should but for me I would say the opportunities/threats within the legal industry are pretty inter-woven. What may seem like an opportunity, could lead to a challenge and vice-versa - so your answers for both could be the same albeit focusing on different elements. Let's take AI for example, although this has always been leveraged as an opportunity due to greater efficiency and lower costs, it runs the risk of eradicating admin oriented tasks that allow trainees to learn the foundational blocks of any given matter, e.g. proof-reading (which for firms like Freshfields, Litera takes the lead) would allow trainees the chance to take time to read up on a matter in great depth, develop attention to detail and keep an eye out on key concerns. Although, I am sure they still do, it is still a risk that can feed into a heavily reliant workforce in the future. In light of that, what comes to mind for me is AI, the war for talent, economic pressure, skill development - and for all, there seems to be a pro and a con. [/QUOTE]
