What is the new environment and what is the spherical work model for law firms? How are the North Americans law firms being restructured after the crisis? How do young lawyers face the competitiveness and how to get rid of commoditization of legal services? The person that will answer all those questions is José Paulo Graciotti, the engineer who, for almost 30 years, has been dedicating himself for the restructuring of law firms and the author of the book STRATEGIC GOVERNANCE FOR LAW FIRMS.

The relation with the legal practice and the current strategic importance for law firms, the management trends and the use of artificial intelligence are much more than just trends, they are essential for the new profile of the companies that render legal services and the change in relations with the client. In this book, Graciotti explains Knowledge Management, “Learning Company”, “Data Analytics”, “BI”, Metrics, Algorithms, Cognitive Intelligence and Cyber Security. The future is now. There is no time to lose.

The acceleration of the technological development and the emergence of the so-called disruptive technologies are, on the one side, exerting more pressure on this melting pot, but they are offering (to those who have a prepared vision) a very interesting option to get adapted, to become more efficient and to get prepared for future changes, thus obtaining a competitive advantage in the market. In addition to the adoption of the technological changes, the businesses will need to be managed in a different way and by open -minded people, with affection to the new, with high resilience and with no fear to experiment, to make mistakes and to learn. Only this way the companies and the law firms will be prepared for the changes”, José Paulo Graciotti highlights.
