New Singapore programme to prepare legal pros for tech disruption A new programme aims to prepare legal professionals, especially those from small and medium sized law firms, for technological disruption. The Singapore Academy of Law’s FLIP (Future Law Innovation Programme) is due to launch in the fourth quarter of the year as a two-year pilot programme to help develop the model for the legal profession of the future. “These challenges to the existing legal practice models are a reality, and they loom greater with each day. Technology is revolutionising the practice of law through machine learning and automation,” said Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, president of SAL.

He added that while tech advances may bring benefits for consumers of legal services, for providers it may not be such good news if they fail to adapt. FLIP will also give all legal professionals access to an online platform with training resources to help them broaden technology skills.
