![]() For some years, I was Chair of the Social Mobility Foundation, a charity giving talented young people from less privileged backgrounds the opportunity to enter professions.This is connected to the issues of diversity and technology, again in ways that are not always fully grasped.Īre women and those from diverse backgrounds made comfortable and included in the legal workplace? It is the need to find ways in which lawyers can add value and, therefore, be properly and appropriately remunerated for work in the brave new world of 2022, without so often following the business practices and methods of the 20th century. The third issue that I believe is most pressing is also connected.The issues are connected because adopting new technologies can and will improve diversity in the legal sector in ways that are not at the moment adequately understood. Secondly, I am concerned about a connected issue, namely the legal sector’s ambivalence, or at least somewhat contradictory approach, to the adoption of new technologies.I am concerned that, within the legal sector, women and people from different backgrounds are not always made to feel comfortable and included in the working environment. In summary, I would identify these issues affecting the legal profession as follows.I cannot deny that others might identify three different most pressing issues without being wrong. I should start by making it clear that I am necessarily giving a personal opinion. I have entitled this talk “The Legal Profession: its three most pressing issues for 2022”.London, Thursday 13 October 2022 Introduction The Legal Services Board: Reshaping Legal Services Conference 2022 ![]() War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber.Upper Tribunal Tax and Chancery Chamber.Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber.Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber.Health, Education and Social Care Chamber. ![]() Employment Tribunals (England and Wales).Judiciary and Data Protection: privacy notice. ![]()
