Hive Legal

Recently, Hivesters Melissa Lyon and Adrienne Trumbull, sat down with Jerome Doraisamy from The Lawyers Weekly Show to talk all things pricing and the way we do it at Hive. 🎙 Here’s what you’ll hear: 💡The use of Gen AI means firms need to rethink the billable hour and really understand the value of the outcomes they provide. 💡Flexibility has always been part of who we are and doing away with timesheets has helped us to empower our team and deliver better outcomes for our clients. 💡We’ve built a firm that thinks differently and prices differently.

Proud to see thought leader and Hive Executive Director & Experience Designer, Melissa Lyon, shaping the future of law through her insights on Generative AI in the Legal Innovation Research Report, Part 1 - Technology. As highlighted in the report, Melissa notes ‘Understandably, there has been a lot of hype about the changes that Generative AI will bring to the way we deliver our legal services. It’s inevitable and there are many opportunities to be had. Those organisations which invest in really understanding where those opportunities are and, which tech will help, will be much better positioned than those who rush in and spend time and money on tech that they don’t need or have to retro fit once they have it…… just to say that they are using Gen AI.’ #ItsTheWayWeDoIt #GenerativeAI #LegalInnovation #LegalTech

🎨🐝 At Hive, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do – and our recent Paint & Sip night hosted by the Wellbeing Committee proved it! Instead of each person working on their own masterpiece, we embraced a true hive mindset: everyone added their brushstrokes to every painting. The result? A vibrant gallery of shared creativity, because we know that magic happens when we work together. #ItsTheWayWeDoIt #Collaboration #HiveLegal

Day 3 marked the final day of the National Indigenous Legal Conference 2024. The Yoorrook Justice Commission panel discussions highlighted the importance of Victoria's treaty journey and the role of truth-telling in shaping legislation. Hive continues to progress our vision for reconciliation through strengthening relationships and strategies to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Thank you to Tarwirri-Indigenous Law Students and Lawyers Association of Victoria for hosting this year’s NILC and facilitating these important conversations, we look forward to what is ahead. #NILC2024 #ReconciliationActionPlan
