Gideon Korrell Shares 5 Reasons Interdisciplinary Expertise Matters in Modern Law

Gideon Korrell Shares 5 Reasons Interdisciplina ry Expertise Matters in Modern Law Today’s world moves fast, and many legal issues are closely with technology, engineering, and global rules. Because of this, lawyers often need more than legal knowledge they need to understand how things work. With experience in both engineering and law, Gideon Korrell explains why combining skills from different fields is so important. Here are five reasons. 1. Technology Is Now at the Core of Most Legal Issues Many legal problems today involve technology, whether it's about protecting ideas, dealing with data, or setting rules for how software or hardware is used. Lawyers who understand technology can quickly figure out what is happening, where the risks are, and how to solve problems more effectively. This makes their advice clearer and more reliable. 2. Businesses Need Advisors Who Understand Both Risk and Innovation Companies that create new technologies face big opportunities but also big risks. With his engineering background, Gideon can see both sides: how to keep the business safe and how to help the technology grow. This helps clients make better decisions and move forward with confidence. 3. Complex Contracts Require Technical Fluency Many modern contracts involve very detailed technical information. This is especially true in software, hardware, and clean-energy projects. Lawyers who understand the technical side can write better agreements, explain terms more clearly, and spot problems before they happen. Gideon’s experience in nuclear power and defense helps him handle even the most complicated deals. 4. Interdisciplinary Thinking Strengthens Intellectual Property Protection Protecting inventions and ideas requires technical knowledge. A lawyer with engineering experience can more easily identify what makes an invention special, understand how others might copy or change it, and build a stronger plan to protect it. This leads to better patents and better long-term protection for innovators. 5. Sustainability and Clean Energy Demand Cross-Sector Expertise As more companies focus on clean energy and sustainable technology, they need legal advice that matches real engineering needs. Gideon’s background helps him guide clean-energy projects in a way that meets legal rules while still supporting technical progress. This ensures that sustainability goals are practical and doable.
