| Look out, lawyers, the days of charging $500 an hour are numbered, as digital disruption cuts a swath through the oldest and most conservative of professions and up-ends traditional legal services.
Canadian barrister, author and legal futurist Mitch Kowalski says the writing is on the wall – and traditional firms whose partners ignore it will find themselves elbowed out by more nimble and keenly priced upstarts.
In Australia this week as the keynote speaker at the annual LawTech Summit in Noosa, Queensland, Mr Kowalski says computers themselves will take over much of the brain work that keeps lawyers in jobs.
