Timoshanko on ''An Empirical Study of Lawyers’ Capability to Adapt to Disruption in Queensland, Australia’

Dr Aaron Timoshanko of the University of Southern Queensland School of Law and Justice has published a new article titled 'An Empirical Study of Lawyers' Capability to Adapt to Disruption in Queensland, Australia'.  The article, co-written with four others, appears in Volume 31(1) of the International Journal of the Legal Profession.  Here is the abstract:

"An online survey of 261 Queensland legal practitioners working in sole, micro, small or medium-sized law firms provides valuable insights into their capability to successfully navigate disruption like that experienced during COVID-19. Our results indicated that respondent lawyers demonstrated progressiveness, openness and willingness to engage with innovative approaches, including technology, to build greater capacity within their firms. However, the results from the research identified several overlapping challenges faced by respondents that reduced their capability to adapt to disruption, including being time-poor and difficulty obtaining impartial and trustworthy information and training about emerging forms of disruption."
