VP of Legal Markets and Innovation Dean Sonderegger to speak on technology's impact on the practice of law based on lessons learned from the accounting industry.
Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. Vice President of Legal Markets and Innovation Dean Sonderegger will present on disruption and innovation in the legal industry at the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) Annual Meeting and Conference in Austin, Texas on Monday, July 17.
With more than two decades of experience at the cutting edge of technology across industries, Sonderegger will explore technology's impacts on the practice of law, and point to similar factors that impacted the accounting industry. The presentation will focus on how the accounting industry transformed as a result of these challenges and opportunities, and what legal markets might learn from that transformation.
"Widespread access to technology for consumers has the potential to disrupt the legal industry; the impact of technology on the accounting industry over the past decade offers a view of what that impact could look like," said Sonderegger. "There are a lot of lessons that legal practitioners can learn from the accounting industry's evolution. Where there is challenge, there is also opportunity."
Sonderegger's insights on the future of legal markets include:
