The nature of delivery of legal services, and the structures by which they are delivered, continue to change and develop at an increasingly rapid pace. What was radical some years ago in terms of the ‘alternate business structure’ (ABS) has become the new normal in various jurisdictions. The practice has moved beyond simple models of non-lawyer ownership of law firms. This session will bring together practitioners from different jurisdictions to share their experiences on how different forms of alternative business structures operate in various civil and common law regions. The panellists will discuss ethical, regulatory and practical issues, and their experiences on how different forms of ABS have operated under differing jurisdictions across the world, particularly tying in with experiences in Asia given the location and the implications and effects of such operations in light of the specific market dynamics.
