Jonathan Grigg, Partner and Head of Dispute Litigation at Foot Anstey, talks about purpose, people and the role of AI in modern litigation.
Jonathan shares his view on whether law firms really need a single overarching purpose, or whether culture, values and reputation do that job more honestly. He discusses what genuinely holds a firm together, why he's such a strong advocate for giving praise freely at every level, and how firms need to rethink developing the next generation of lawyers as AI begins to absorb the high-volume work juniors have traditionally learned from.
He also reflects on the human side of litigation, from preparing a client emotionally for mediation to the growing challenge of earning trust in an age where advice is routinely second-guessed by Google, AI and a network of friendly lawyers, and where managing partners should, and shouldn't, be investing right now.
