If the general counsel of the future could communicate with the general counsel of the present, what would they have to say about their jobs? Would they report that they are now handling billing at light speed? Taking a jetpack to the next board meeting? Replacing all of their outside counsel with hyperintelligent robots? It’s hard to predict the future, but there are certainly ways to chart where the legal industry might be headed—and what that means for general counsel.
The Association of Corporate Counsel, a global bar association that represents more than 33,000 in-house attorneys, in partnership with the Georgetown University Center for the Study of the Legal Profession, has looked into the crystal ball to figure out what the general counsel of the future might need to think most about. The result is a report titled “Skills for the 21st Century General Counsel,” which looks at the ways the job has changed over time and offers insight into where it might be going.
