International Legal Industry: Tech, Career Paths, & Skills

Mark A. Cohen is a global thought leader in the legal industry. He is a weekly columnist for Forbes; a Distinguished Lecturer in Law at Georgetown; an international speaker; and a strategist and advisor to a leading legal service provider, two internationally
renowned law schools (in addition to Georgetown), and founder of Legal Mosaic, a legal consultancy.

Mark will be speaking about global developments in the legal industry and how they reflect broader changes that cut across multiple business sectors. He will explain how and why law and so many other industries have been disrupted by technology, the global financial crisis of 2007, and globalization. He will explore how these forces have transformed the buy-sell dynamic of goods and services, created new delivery models, and effected changes in how people work. Mark will also offer advice on new skillsets required not only of lawyers but also for those entering other fields. He will also talk about the value of a global view, both intrinsically and extrinsically.
