Andrew Smulian, chair and CEO of the firm, said: ‘While the formation of Akerman's R&D Council may be pioneering today, we foresee a time in which research and development departments will be commonplace at law firms in order to adapt to an increasingly complex world.’ The firm already holds ‘regular learning labs’ and ‘innovation tournaments’ to encourage new ideas.
