During the discussion panel legal market’s experts discussed a number of ongoing issues, posed by the fact how in-house lawyer’s work will changed as a result of digitalization, enhancement, what are the skills required for a corporate lawyer of the future and how his work will be organized in the conditions of ‘lawyer’s monopoly’.
“In my opinion, corporate lawyer is a family doctor, who has to monitor of overall ‘health’ of his company, and then preclude the ’disease’ conducting the timely prevention. Outdoor lawyer, instead, is a subject matter expert, whose main task is timely and high-quality ‘treatment’ of sudden ‘desease’ of the client. That is why, I think, the main task to in-house lawyer of the future is timely identification of potential ‘disease’ of the company and hiring of outdoor lawyers for its ‘treatment’. This kind of synergy will allow corporate lawyers be successful and effective in the future in the issues of legal protection ofthe interests of their employers’ stressed partner of Antika Law Firm Sergey Korniienko.
Partners of the Firm Alexey Kot, Andrey Kuznetsov, Alexander Burtovoy, Maxim Korchagin, and lawyer Mykhailo Voitsekhovskyi are also took part in the forum.
