Interview with: Des Hudson, Chief Executive, Law Society

In the first of our series of Inside Track podcasts, we discuss a range of opportunities available to the legal profession with Des Hudson, Chief Executive of the Law Society. 
 
Focussing on the implications for trainees, during our wide-ranging conversation we discuss the implications of out-sourcing work to countries like India and the associated opportunities this gives to law firms for international growth. 
 
We also discuss the likely consequences of the Legal Services Act and the scope to work with other professionals in alternative business structures for law firms and the opening up of the market for legal services.
 
It's an interesting and revealing conversation that is essential listening for anyone considering a career in law.
