Adam Seiden, the chair of the New York State Bar Association’s 50+ Section, is emphasizing the importance of fostering intergenerational links within the legal profession. Seiden, who refers to himself as an “old dinosaur,” acknowledges the challenges of adapting to the evolving landscape of law practice. He states, “I’ve had to adapt to the new way of practicing law. And I’ve adapted to the extent I can and I keep trying to learn.”
Seiden advises elder lawyers to recognize when it is time to step back, balancing the need for continued learning with the wisdom to know their limits. This perspective is particularly vital as legal technologies and methodologies continue to advance rapidly, potentially outpacing those who have practiced under traditional paradigms.
