Podcast highlights what the future law firms will look like and how to prepare for success

The latest episode in Osprey Approach’s podcast series, Empowering Law Firm Leaders, is available now to watch and listen for free on YouTube, Spotify, and Amazon Music. It features a conversation with Chris Bull, consultant at Edge International and former COO for Osborne Clarke, who shares his predictions of what law firms will look like in 2030, along with practical advice on how to prepare for success.

In episode 11, Amy Bruce, head of marketing at Osprey Approach, discusses with Chris the changes and innovations he expects across the sector and how they currently impact SME firms, as well as the most effective way for firms to spend their tech budget and maximise ROI.

This latest conversation covers:

· The impact of the legal operations role

· How firms can spend their IT budget wisely

· How large legal practices can inspire SME firms

· How to encourage experimentation and innovation

· What to prioritise now to thrive in 2030

During the conversation, Chris shares three essentials for successful modern law firms, namely, a deep focus on providing a client-centric approach; adopting a restless and radical mindset that enables firms to adapt; and the need for a unified purpose right across the firm, which is reflected in everything from internal processes to client interactions.

Chris advises law firm leaders to think strategically about their future and consider where they want to be in 2030, before working backwards to determine the necessary steps to get there. He suggests that firms ask themselves “What do you need to be and what do you want to be in 2030?”
