  • The Changed Economy of Legal Knowledge: Response Through a Radical Change to the Legal Trainee Career Path

    The Changed Economy of Legal Knowledge: Response Through a Radical Change to the Legal Trainee Career Path

    The changed economy of legal knowledge: response through a radical change to the legal trainee career path Dr. Nigel Spencer,1 Dr. Katie Best,2 and Des Woods3 Abstract This paper uses a case study to explore how two changes in circumstances within the UK legal services sector led to innovations in career structure, organisational design and the distribution of knowledge within one particular City of London law firm. These two changes were: (1) changes in client demand for more commercial advisers; and (2) the financial crisis or Credit Crunch. The paper sets out the context for the innovation explaining the historic legal education system with its nearly exclusively technical legal curriculum. The authors then set out the need for change in knowledge distribution, based on external market demands, in order to produce more rounded, commercial and business-focused lawyers, and explain how the firm radically revised its career path to create a step-change in commercial knowledge and simultaneously changed the knowledge distribution in the firm. Background: the historic career model and legal services market which required ‘technical experts’ The legal sector’s work historically centred on delivering expert, technical knowledge-in-practice which its legal teams have gradually built up through their careers (Kritzer, 2002). Clients of leading City legal practices continued to value this technical knowledge, especially that of the senior members of the firm (the law firm Partners), and readily bought in the City firms to solve their legal problems, often in a relatively ‘transactional’ relationship whereby the law firm was hired to execute a particular legal instrument within a broader commercial context (Morgan, 2005).

In all there was a total of 91 lateral partner moves announced in this round up – 22% down on the same period last year when the figures were artificially buoyed by the collapse of King & Wood Mallesons’ European verein.
