Andrew Darwin An interview with Andrew Darwin from DLA Piper 27 September 2019

In recent years a number of factors including operational thinking, adoption of technology, inclusivity and innovation are requiring law firms to undergo some fundamental strategic rethinking. Here Andrew explains how DLA Piper's strategy is looking beyond the constraints of the traditional definition of a law firm and is shifting the focus to 'radical change'. This is change that truly impacts the client's experience, effecting not only what services the firm offers now but what it can offer in the future to provide a total solution to its clients' needs.
