SUMMARY:The practice of law in the 'gig' economy: the 'Uberisation' of le
 gal services in alternative business structures - what will it mean for 
 lawyers?
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Uberisation' of legal services is increasingly the futur
 e for the delivery of legal services\, and alternative legal business st
 ructures are proliferating on a daily basis. The so-called ‘gig’ economy
 \, involving part-time work and contract work/specific project contracts
 \, is being is being embraced\, willingly or not\, by Gen X and millenni
 als. The question of how legal services will be delivered and the future
  of professional practice is undergoing a profound change. New business 
 models will be the norm.\n\nThis session addresses the question of how t
 raditional practice models will deal with the ‘gig’ economy and contract
 ing/ project model delivery of legal services.\n\nIt also explores the d
 ifferent online lawyer referral models now used by online marketplaces f
 or legal services\, such as AVVO\, and how that is affecting both consum
 er and small and medium-sized business clients\, and law firms that repr
 esent them. The session also explores the impact of alternative business
  models in civil law as well as common law countries\, and examines non-
 lawyer ownership and ethical issues.
