Legal Skills Series: How to be a Human with Ryan Millward (Gowling WLG - Associate)

Summary

WARNING: The invasion of the robot lawyers is imminent!

In a world were a computer can do your job faster and cheaper than you can how are you going to be able to compete? With your human skills of course! What many of us forget is that the Legal Industry is predominately a customer/client service industry.  This means to be successful we, as lawyers, will have to engage with actual humans and if you want to build relationships with humans you have to be a better human yourself.

In the first episode of You've Been Served's Legal Skills Series we explore the importance of human skills and how they can help future lawyers distinguish themselves from automated legal services currently hitting the market.  In a world where AI lawyers are becoming more and more of a reality, there is no better time to upskill your humanity!
