The UNISON School of Law, has been unfurled under the UNISON umbrella. And considering the reputation we have built for ourselves in these past years, that should tell you two things:

1. Legal education has come of age in India.
2. We shall do anything and everything that it takes to provide the best, and only the best to our students.

Early last year, author and workplace futurist Tom Peters made a distressing prediction: Over the next 10 to 15 years, 90 percent of white-collar jobs will either disappear or be altered beyond recognition. You can certainly argue with Peters' bearish analysis, but there's no denying that the cliffs of white-collar ville are being eroded by tides of technological change.

Assuming that Tom Peters' bleak future is only half-right, that still leaves a lot of professionals holding buggy whips. How can you make sure that you're not one of them? Here is a tip to help you stay relevant now and into the future:

Focus on the Complex

First-generation Technology made routine and repetitive activities more efficient. Next generation technology will complement or even replace human intelligence, precisely the commodity that professionals sell. But computers will never replace the voice of experienced judgment and creative problem solving in times of crisis, transition or growth.


Develop a specialty that deals with complex human needs rather than routine matters.

The legal profession is one such career option that promises to fight obsolescence. And this is solely because of the innate ability of "law" to grow exponentially in relation to the society. Every passing day, it grow more complex and more diverse.
