Law Firm Leadership: What is Legal Design Thinking?
Last year, the global firm Baker McKenzie launched a new initiative called “Whitespace Legal Collab.” On the 27th floor of their Toronto office on Bay Street, the global firm opened their doors to clients and leaders in business, government, academia and non-profit organizations to “address complex global challenges at the intersection of business, law and technology” according to their website. “Our Whitespace Legal Collab is part of our firm's wider effort to cultivate a new type of thinking when helping our clients develop solutions to complex challenges,” says Paul Rawlinson, the global chair of the firm.
