Dentons Rodyk is pleased to announce that it has joined the Singapore Academy of Law’s Future Law Innovation Programme (FLIP) as the featured international law firm among the participating law firms.

The programme is a strategic initiative that aims to assist law firms in innovating new ways of delivering legal services and integrating technology within their processes. It also seeks to facilitate the cross-pollination of ideas between the technology and legal sectors, and to create a vibrant Legal Tech ecosystem for the future economy. 

Client-Centricity

Dentons Rodyk sees FLIP as a partner on our journey to re-define our clients’ experience – with a focus on collaborating seamlessly and delivering cost-effective and high-quality legal services for even the most complex matters.

Dentons Rodyk believes that in order to improve the client’s experience, we first need to deeply understand their needs and business objectives, which is a building-block of FLIP and one of the key reasons the Firm joined the programme.

In the past five months, Dentons Rodyk has carried out an extensive client service-delivery review, which has so far involved over 200 Senior Partner hours, 155 lawyers and staff members, and 10 client interviews. This has resulted in defining over 32 projects which leverage technology to improve the client experience, with over 18 live projects led by Senior Partners, lawyers, and staff.

Innovation as a Firm-Wide & Global Effort

FLIP is also helping Dentons Rodyk drive innovation firm-wide, and enable those with the best understanding of client needs to shape the solutions being implemented. 

The Dentons Rodyk FLIP Task Force, comprising talented lawyers representing a broad array of clients, will participate in the FLIP "Ideate!" stage that will allow them to learn new ways of identifying needs around legal service delivery, develop plans, and partner with technology companies in an effort to better serve their clients.

The Task Force will also be working closely with Nextlaw Labs, Nextlaw Ventures and our Dentons colleagues throughout the globe to continue exploring technology solutions and understand best practices. This is a unique model which allows our Firm to find and implement the best solutions with agility.

Our clients have faced significant market pressures head-on and have embraced innovation in order to do more with less. Dentons Rodyk is committed to embarking on this journey with our clients, not only as trusted legal advisors but also as innovation and business partners who are equipped to handle their future needs.
