LawTech Talks: The ‘moral imperative’ to adopt and utilise new tech

In this special episode of LawTech Talks, produced in partnership with Clio and recorded at the Women in Law Forum, we unpack what the rapid adoption and utilisation of new and emerging technologies, like AI, means for lawyers’ changing sense of self and their duties to the community. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clio founder and chief executive Jack Newton and Asia-Pacific general manager Denise Farmer about the lessons and takeaways from 2024 thus far, what these say about where the market is at as we head into 2025, and how Australians are faring relative to global counterparts.

The trio also flesh out lawyers’ changing attitudes to what constitutes best practice, the growing appreciation for the changing nature of legal practice, an evolving sense of lawyers’ duties to those around them, and how the make-up of the legal profession and what a leading lawyer looks like are shifting as a result.
