SUMMARY:Practice of law in the gig economy redux: legal tech regulation\,
  impact on young lawyers and next-gen platforms
DESCRIPTION:YoungLawyersWhat is the regulation of legal tech and the blur
 red lines with traditional law? How are these “next-generation law firms
 ” impacting young lawyers? What is gig economy’s impact on the future of
  the legal profession? These and many other related questions resonate o
 n the way the law has been traditionally practiced. The rise of the gig 
 economy and legal tech are on the cusp of transforming legal services as
  we know it\, yet without a proper regulatory framework\, the legal prof
 ession might render services that go awry in various jurisdictions. Furt
 her\, this will have a significant impact on young lawyers’ careers and 
 future lawyers. The “Uberisation” of legal services has also brought wit
 h it a proliferation in the number of platforms that cater to the consum
 ers’ needs in the legal industry. Platforms such as Martindale\, Goodlaw
 yer\, Avvo\, Justia\, Priori Legal and HireMeLegal\, among many more\, h
 ope to target a more consumer/lawyer-friendly legal experience by enabli
 ng review systems\, be it in the form of peers’ or clients’ input. Howev
 er\, are these platforms a boon or a doom? From both the regulatory and 
 ethical vantage points\, legal service platforms have countless benefits
  in enabling consumers access to justice\, while concurrently raising se
 rious legal and ethical considerations. This session will aim to bring t
 ogether platform providers\, senior lawyers and regulators to holistical
 ly discuss the pressing issue surrounding the legal tech revolution in t
 he legal services realm\, its regulatory and ethical implications on law
 yers\, particularly young lawyers\, but also seasoned veterans\, as well
  as these next-generation platforms on a current basis as benchmarks for
  thrusting the legal profession a step forward (or backward).
