Abstract

This article aims to analyze the concrete changes and improvements needed for a multifunctional lawyering, which calls on the legal professional to act in compliance using the wide range of available technology with excellence, in order to become the specialized partner of its client. It addresses multifunctional lawyering as a professional activity carried out in a strategic partnership format, using technology side by side with human skills and technical legal skills (so-called, respectively, soft and hard skills), to improve the services provided and allow consistent structuring of compliance processes. Through the presentation of this new mindset, lawyering is seen as an activity carried out proactively, so that the lawyer leaves the unique role of “fighter”: who fights for the rights of the client, and starts to act also, and mainly, as a designer and “problem solver”: who designs environments/contexts and stimulates relationships that prevent conflict and uses creativity to solve it. The methodology is bibliographical, with empirical contributions, and the results are the verification of the benefits of the analyzed action.
