EDITORIAL
Ships Rising, not Shipwreck
THIS ISSUE of Lexpert is future-focussed. We have articles on Private Equity
sectors that are likely to be good bets (p.34); boutique firms that are finding
niches (p.40); firms that are adapting to AI's promise (p.46); and inspiring in-
house leadership (p.52). For all of the shipwreck-image laden articles about the
profession's future, you are also telling each other positive stories.
David Lat names "the creation of online communities" as a trend shaping the
profession's future (https://bit.ly/2wC5Sot). Interestingly, he doesn't see this as
such a radical departure for lawyers. "Community has always been critical for
lawyers," writes Lat. "Community helps lawyers find clients, make cross-refer-
rals, share insights, mentor each other, and thrive in their professional lives."
Many of you have joined social media in expressive and impressive ways. For
example, you can follow rudnerlaw.ca for Employment Law news; and @Hul-
lanHullLLP for Estates guidance — both of these on several platforms. For a
mix of Trial Tips along with notes on space travel and personal milestones, there
is @jthomascurry on Twitter. I found out about Ritu Bhasin's powerful youtube
video, "Let's Talk about Supremacy, Power and Privilege" on LinkedIn. For won-
derful photos and travel tales, see _ohmygord and campion.john on Instagram.
For Competition Law updates, go back to Twitter for @Tony _DiDomenico.
While there, take a look at the #lawtwitter discussion on what women lawyers
are expected or not to wear to work. One or more of these will surely inspire you
to join an online community if you are not there already. Set sail!
