I recently came across an article that discusses the evolving landscape of the legal profession in 2024. The article highlights how lawyers are increasingly called to be involved in complex, multidisciplinary issues that extend beyond traditional legal boundaries. It emphasizes the need for adaptability and integration of various fields to provide holistic solutions to clients.
