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.
