Leading Through a New Era in the Legal Profession

Dominique Hussey appears live on BNN Bloomberg to discuss her new role as Chief Executive Officer at Bennett Jones. She talks about priorities for the firm, the impact of AI on intellectual property and the legal profession and what young lawyers should be thinking about as they embark on careers in law.

Dominique says:

• The key priority will be building on more than 100 years of excellence in client service, attracting and retaining top legal talent and equipping colleagues with the tools for success.
• The boundless potential of AI will see a proliferation of people seeking patent rights—and will also create jurisdictional challenges in enforcing IP.
• Law students and young lawyers will have to be highly adaptable and always looking for the next advancement and how they can remain ahead of it.
• When it comes to leadership, it is not about the title. Leadership is in the doing and is about lifting others up.
