More Than A Lawyer

Law has long been a profession reserved for the elite, a space dominated by privilege and wealth, accessible only to those with connections or means. But the industry is shifting, and the gates are opening. Now more than ever, what sets you apart isn’t just technical expertise or prestige. In this conversation I'm talking with Patrick McCann director of learning at Linklaters, training committee chair of the City of London Law Society and co-CEO of City Century designed to empower students from diverse backgrounds to pursue a career in law they may have never thought possible. Today, Patrick opens up about his own challenges breaking into the legal profession, the obstacles faced by aspiring lawyers from diverse backgrounds, and how the industry is evolving.

You can’t outsmart AI in law. So do this instead. People panic about AI taking over. They worry they’re being replaced. Hoping their jobs will be safe. But here’s the truth: AI will never replace what truly sets you apart. Your unique blend of expertise, empathy, and judgment. It's the human connection.The trust you build. The way you solve problems in a way no machine ever could. And when you lead with that? No AI update can touch your value. Start focusing on what makes you irreplaceable as a lawyer. In this conversation with M&A partner at K&L Gates, David Edgar we address why the majority of lawyers are scared to put themselves out there online, how to be a better lawyer that no one teaches you in law school, how to authentically engage online without crossing boundaries or jeopardizing client and firm relationships.
