Ways technology is influencing the next generation of Wills and Executries practitioners?

Since the pandemic, the use of online learning platforms, notably in the professional learning area, has expanded tremendously.

Prior to COVID, a Wills and Executry solicitor would obtain Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through a combination of in-person events and learning modules given by their firm. However, the coronavirus pandemic accelerated the deployment of virtual training technology far faster than had been planned or predicted. Technology firms and training providers were able to quickly adapt and enhance their platforms to synergise with the new landscape of working from home and connecting with colleagues and clients remotely while on lockdown. As a result, webinars, Team calls, online seminars, and Zoom forums quickly became the standard.

The advancement and greater adoption of virtual communications for training have provided users with a new level of freedom, as they may watch recorded content at any time, and it has reduced the hassle and potential loss of fees on hours of travel to places. As a result, in 2023, rather than relying solely on conferences for CPD, law firms are supplementing traditional in-person conferences for their staff with online learning options, combining the increased networking and engagement of an in-person event with the flexibility and adaptability of webinars.

What about the future generation of Wills and executry solicitors?

Because of the covid-19 epidemic and advances in virtual learning, any new competitors to the business are likely to have received the majority of their education through online courses and remote learning resources. Virtual learning will be the norm for them from beginning to end, and the next generation of professionals will find it easier to adopt this as their primary platform for CPD as they advance in their careers.

There is no doubt that in-person conferences have a place in the Wills & executry sector for professional development because of the connection between trainer and trainee as well as the wider networking opportunities they provide. Virtual training in Private Client law, on the other hand, is clearly not going away, and trends indicate that it will become the ‘go-to’ as the industry’s next generation of solicitors improves.
