The ‘Uberisation' of legal services is increasingly the future for the delivery of legal services, and alternative legal business structures 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 millennials. 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. This session addresses the question of how traditional practice models will deal with the ‘gig’ economy and contracting/ project model delivery of legal services. It also explores the different online lawyer referral models now used by online marketplaces for legal services, such as AVVO, and how that is affecting both consumer and small and medium-sized business clients, and law firms that represent 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.
