Legaltech: who should be training the trainees?
The future of legal practice depends on a dynamic partnership between firms and academic institutions, said partners from major Brazilian firms at a recent Latin Lawyer roundtable that explored how to best bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical law training. Tania Liberman, a partner at Cescon, Barrieu, Flesch & Barreto Advogados, stressed, however, that as long as law schools do not provide this kind of practical training, the onus to provide training will remain on firms. “Most of the trainees that come to my firm are very far away from what we need from a technology perspective,” she noted. To address this, Cescon Barrieu has implemented a trainee challenge programme over the past two years. As part of this initiative, trainees are currently investigating how AI could improve the firm’s customer relationship management (CRM) platform.
