The Future of Legal Practice

Dr Victoria McCloud (a part time CSLS DPhil student) was a panellist at King’s College London’s lecture on The Future of Legal Practice on 11 Feburary 2020.

We all know that Law is undergoing a revolution, driven in large part by the rise of technology.  Taking a look at some of current key developments arising in two very different legal contexts – the courts and some of the World’s largest law firms - was our panel of experts, all of whom are operating at the cutting edge of this development in legal history:

  • Dr Victoria McCloud, Master of the Senior Courts, Queen's Bench Division, Deputy Costs Judge/Taxing Master and ad hoc acting Admiralty Registrar
  • Ben Kent, Founder and Director of Meridian West, a professional services company helping professional firms to develop and implement client-focused strategies, co-author of the Professional Services Leadership Handbook
