A Student's Perspective

I believe that today, and in the future, successful lawyers must be more customer-centric and able to work collaboratively. Other professional services have undergone enormous change as a result of digitalisation. I want to be a part of improving the way lawyers operate in a digital enabled world.

Mark Cohen is the CEO of Legal Mosaic - a legal business consultancy, speaker, author and Distinguished Fellow at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. Mark is a member of the College’s Program Board for the Master of Legal Business and the Singapore Academy of Law’s inaugural LIFTED Catalyst-in-Residence.

The first 25 years of Mark’s professional career were spent as a civil trial lawyer--decorated Assistant U.S. Attorney, BigLaw partner, founder/managing partner of a multi-city litigation boutique, outside General Counsel, and federally-appointed Receiver of an international company conducting business across four continents.

Mark pivoted from the representation of clients to 'the business of law' approximately 15 years ago. Mark founded Qualitas, an early legal process outsourcing company (LPO), and then co-founded and managed Clearspire, a groundbreaking 'two-company model' law firm and service company.

Currently, Mark consults with legal service providers--corporate departments, firms, and law companies--on new delivery models and legal buyer solutions. Mark also works with law firms around the world to bridge the gap between traditional legal education and 'contemporary skills' required by the marketplace. This includes aligning law schools with providers to provide 'real life' experience for students and to better position them for their careers.
