The Future Law Innovation Programme (FLIP) by Singapore Law Academy (SLA) and SMU Academy will work together to groom a new breed of legal professionals who can go beyond offering legal advice. This is one of the new initiatives by the SLA to mark the first anniversary of its FLIP. Legal professionals can sign up for a two-part course at SMU Academy, where they can learn design thinking and corporate and entrepreneurial ideation. Dr Lim Lai Cheng, Executive Director, SMU Academy, said, "Legal services in Singapore will face increasing competition as discerning law firms begin utilising innovation and technologies to increase value for their clients. Through this, legal technopreneurs will begin their journey to identify opportunities to innovate, adopt and implement practical solutions that will keep them ahead of competition."
