AI is changing how legal work is researched, produced and delivered.

As technology becomes more embedded in practice, the human capabilities that build trust, strengthen relationships and support sound judgement will become increasingly important.

This series of articles, released weekly over the next couple of months, explores seven essential areas for lawyers and business services professionals: client excellence, emotional intelligence, communication, becoming a trusted adviser, leadership, critical thinking and resilience.
