Project Design
- An environmental scan of developments in the Australian legal services market will be undertaken to determine how closely the market currently resembles the prognosis outlined in literature examining disruptive innovation in the legal profession
- A survey and interviews will be undertaken with key personnel in Australian law firms to determine the level and scope of innovation being pursued, particularly innovation in service delivery models
- Statistical analysis of the data collected by the survey and the interviews
- Evaluation of the data to determine whether it confirms, predicts or refutes disruptive innovation in the Australian legal services market
- Examination of the implications the findings may have for consumers of legal services
- Preparation and submission of research outputs and dissemination of results to the legal profession
