Disrupting the Story: Rethinking How Law Does Business

The legal profession is at a crossroads. Rising client expectations, changing workforce values, and increasing competition mean the old models of practice are no longer enough. Firms that continue to prioritise billable hours, rigid hierarchies, and traditional service delivery risk being left behind.

This interactive panel brings together forward-thinking practitioners and innovators who are challenging the status quo. Together, they’ll explore how law can be practised differently — with business models that prioritise value, client experience, and long-term sustainability.
