With the imminent implementation of the reforms ushered in by the Legal Services Act, the legal profession is on the cusp of a major transition, the effects of which are set to have wide-ranging consequences for all forms of legal practice.

Legal Week's Future of Legal Services Forum will aim to get to the very heart of our changing legal landscape. With the Legal Services Act continuing to fuel change and innovation, are firms naturally evolving – or are they being forced to change to keep up with competition?

This year's forum will be chaired by ex-Clifford Chance senior partner Stuart Popham and will also feature a keynote speech from justice minister Jonathan Djanogly MP.

In this video, speakers and attendees at last year's Future of Legal Services Forum offer their opinions on subjects including outside investment in law firms, new entrants into the legal services market, and how the relationship between clients and lawyers is set to change in the wake of the economic downturn.
