Overview
What you will study
It is no longer enough for a lawyer to simply “know the law” – these days lawyers need a broader range of skill sets. These skills can be divided into three basic skill sets: people-processes-technology.
Having completed The lawyer of the future - Building a high performance legal team course offered by University of Cape Town, participants should be equipped to:
- Understand why the partnership of people, process and technology - with "people" as the leading part of the equation - is key to developing a high performing team
- Understand why it is important to map processes so that they can be improved to reduce waste (e.g. waiting, over-lawyering, defects, etc.) and add value
- Be better able to empower legal teams and align them with the business: Integrated teams have extraordinary capacity to leverage individual strengths, leading to coordinated action (collaboration) for the benefit of the customer
- Understand how law technology can be deployed to support your people and processes
- Appreciate that improvement is continuous, because change in the business environment is constant and rapid - processes must adapt, as well as the technology that supports those processes
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- technology
- on-going pressures on legal budgets
- the ever-expanding role of the General Counsel or Chief Legal Officer
- demands from business for the legal function to better align with it and deliver tangible value
