The skills junior lawyers need to future-proof their careers From understanding responsible business and ethics to preserving your people skills in the age of AI, we asked a range of industry professionals to share the key skills they believe early-career lawyers need to bridge the gap between academic rigour and real-world success. Ask about the ‘future of law’, and lawtech is almost guaranteed to be the first topic up for discussion. Some would say rightly so – more than half of respondents (60.9%) to a Law Society survey in collaboration with the University of Manchester and University College London (2023) said that they intended to use lawtech more frequently in the next five years. But new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are only part of the picture when it comes to the expertise legal recruiters will value in the coming years. 1.
