Preparing Lawyers for Technology Transformation
The Exponential Age Mindset
Publication date: Mar 2026
The growth in technology is forecast to increase exponentially going forward. What this means for business is that technology will radically change the way we work, and that constant change will become the norm.
In law, this change has not taken effect as radically as in other areas of business, but it is a matter of when, not if. This book identifies nine mindset attributes that are fundamental to success – to individuals, their teams, and their organizations.
As AI adoption increases, there has been less focus on the human-centred skills that are needed to thrive. Preparing Lawyers for Technology Transformation: The Exponential Age Mindset focuses on how legal departments and law firms can ensure their employees have the mindset and the skill set to optimize this transformation. Increasingly, GCs are seeing that engaging the entire legal department is key to success, and that many non-lawyer roles are going to be even more central as tech and GenAI becomes more prevalent.

Decision Making in Law Firms
Publication date: Apr 2026
While 72 percent of leaders believe decisions drive business results, only 20 percent trust their decision-making processes. This gap is particularly acute in partnership structures where traditional hierarchical decision-making models don't apply.
Decision Making in Law Firms addresses the disconnect between how law firms say they make decisions and how decisions actually happen. It builds a comprehensive framework covering individual psychology, partnership dynamics, consensus-building, strategic architecture, and operational timing.
Iryna Nikitina exposes the mythology surrounding law firm decision-making, revealing how informal alliances, market pressures, and individual incentives trump formal procedures. Decision Making in Law Firms provides law firm partners with practical tools for understanding and improving their decision-making processes, from individual cognitive patterns to partnership consensus to strategic transformation.
