SUMMARY:Drivers of change: trade agreements\, technology and the future o
 f trading legal services cross border
DESCRIPTION:This session will look at the role that technology is playing
  in reshaping the potential for legal services to be traded across borde
 rs. The potential has long existed for legal services to be disaggregate
 d and outsourced\, but online tools are now increasingly targeting consu
 mer markets for legal services. As with many other service sectors\, law
 yers are thus becoming dependent on relative freedom of data flows and v
 ulnerable to costs associated with requirements to localise the storage 
 of data. At the same time\, data protection laws\, e-commerce and distan
 ce-selling regulations are expanding unevenly\, leaving some jurisdictio
 ns heavily regulated and some unregulated for non-resident lawyers. But 
 in neither case has the interaction of trade and regulation of legal ser
 vices been explicitly considered. So how\, if at all\, do trade agreemen
 ts deal with these issues? What role should they play in the future?
