Abstract
[en] The legal profession has been strongly changing for the past ten years. Since then, many authors have addressed the issue of developments in the legal profession in a market in upheaval.
Advanced technological innovations are one of the major reasons for these changes. Yet they are not the only causes of them. Indeed, customers are increasingly picky and demanding, society evolves and access to information is becoming easier, especially when the client happens to be a company, and in our case a S.M.E.
Simultaneously, competition is rising on the legal market. The number of lawyers continues to evolve in Belgium, which places our country among the European countries with the highest density of lawyers by number of inhabitants. This leads to increased competition forcing lawyers to be more and more creative. But it goes even further. Outside the borders of the Bar, competitors hurry to enter the legal service market. Providers of standardized legal advice, provision of online services, legal start-ups, artificial intelligence, … all these players that are seeking market shares are coming to compete with lawyers in the provision of legal advice.
Business law firms should keep watching these incipient movements while caring about S.M.E.’s manager’s expectations. Therefore, lawyers looking for progress and success will have to focus their cabinet management on the criteria the clients care about such as proximity, loyalty, transparency, multidisciplinary, etc.
If the business lawyer is today subject to the same requirements as a business leader, he will obviously have to make some place alongside its treaties, codes and legal briefs for management and strategy books. .
