WHAT'S INSIDE?

ISSUE IN BRIEF

We at Briefing expect to see sweeping change through legal. As the great William Gibson might have said, projects and process are the future, but they’re mightily unevenly distributed. This issue is about the people who will bring it to your firm.

Editor Richard Brent went in search of the roles behind the process/projects revolution – and his interview feature is a great insight into some of the key roles of the future. Also, check out our supplier interviews, from p24.

This is an issue I feel we’ve been waiting to make for years. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
