documentation and advice, having the right team with the right

environment and to build a diverse team to successfully meet client
challenges. An important read for a new era."

legal profession and given a straightforward and refreshing
perspective on how we can modernise the profession. His case for
multidisciplinary teams servicing client needs is a compelling one
and is expertly brought to life through an effective combination of
personal experience and case studies. This is a brilliant resource,
whatever your level of experience."

"The legal profession has long been in need of new approaches to
help drive it into the future. Curphey's text provides just that,
by highlighting the problems facing the industry and proposing a
new model, Law+, for addressing these. Law+ is founded in the
conviction that legal services are best provided by
multi-disciplinary teams. Curphey develops the model as it applies
to people, processes, technology, and change, delineating clear
steps for creating a new way of servicing clients. Both insightful
and practical, this is a must-read book for anyone interested in
what the law firm of the future might look like."-- Nicola Shaver,
CEO and co-founder of Legaltech Hub

learning model, Law+, to help shape the multidisciplinary legal
team of the future. Curphey's skill as an educator shines through
the book; he writes with clarity, wit and wisdom, and he offers
plenty of practical examples to support his thesis. This book will
be invaluable to any organisation looking to develop legal teams
that, collectively, possess the skills that clients really
need."
