A central pillar of the IBA's mission, and the core objective of the Future of Legal Services Commission, is to be at the forefront of developments in the legal market. To do this, we have to identify these developments, and then understand their likely impact and how ready the legal profession is to respond to them.

This survey asks your views on the principal developments identified so far, and seeks your help in finding others. We will use the data collected (on a strictly anonymous basis) to produce a Heatmap. This will inform how the IBA prioritises its work, and enable us to influence and prepare for developments coming down the line.

By contributing to our Heatmap you will be helping the IBA to forge the Future of Legal Services.

The survey should take around 15 minutes to complete.

Each page starts by identifying a development or challenge, covering issues relating to people, clients, business and the rule of law.

It then asks you to consider the likely impact of that development, how much focus/attention it is getting, how ready you are to respond to it, and how important it is that we respond proactively. For some questions you are asked to check a box, for others please use the slider.

We want to hear the views of as many people as possible, including lawyers, legal academics, law students, business services professionals and legal technologists. Please pass on this survey to anyone you think might want to complete it. The more people we can reach, the better the data will be.
