The legal ecosystem is complex, multidisciplinary and evolving. Delivery of legal services and products requires the capabilities of many people working seamlessly in collaboration with each other and customers/clients. Contemporary legal practice is all about new – new law, new professions and specialisms, new areas of practice, and new ways of conceiving, working on and solving new legal problems.
