Yves Faguy speaks with legal sector analyst Jordan Furlong, author of Law21.ca, about the multiplying disruptions facing the legal profession all at once.

With so many overlapping crises happening at once, feeding off one another and contributing to the unraveling of longstanding institutions, how must the legal profession prepare itself for the future? 

That’s the starting point of a conversation with returning guest Jordan Furlong. Many listeners are familiar with Jordan, a former editor-in-chief of CBA National, and now a legal sector analyst based in Ottawa. His work now focuses on change in the legal industry, legal regulation and lawyer formation. He is also the author of the Law21.ca blog, and the book Law Is a Buyer’s Market: Building a Client-First Law Firm. 

We discuss various topics, including the national implications of reregulating the legal profession in BC and the impact of generative AI tools on legal practice. We also dug into how the profession needs to rethink lawyer formation, talent retention and a growing mental health crisis that demands urgent action. Jordan also explains why he plans on staying busy on Twitter, and why the platform remains an important forum for lawyers.
