Regarding opportunities for the legal sector in a A$1.1 billion fund set up by the Australian government to help innovation in business, Mr Cunningham said: '[Law firms must] re-imagine what they do and the way they do it and be prepared to disrupt themselves to some extent. I think it's a bad thing if they are not prepared to change.' 

Enormous potential

He continued: 'There's an enormous amount of innovation potential in existing mature businesses and markets like law. There is a real opportunity for law firms to lead by example.' Source: Lawyers Weekly
