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.
