New decade. Focused direction. Decisions. 

Dear contributors, subscribers and other readers of Dialogue on Remaking Law Firms 

Over the holiday break, I have decided that it’s time to make a number of changes in the direction and balance of my work. 

These decisions will enable me to focus more intensely on my business interests. These include the accelerated digital transformation of beaton, our 15-year-old Voice of Your Clients services to larger professional services firms and FirmChecker, our ratings and reviews startup serving medium-small accounting and law firms.   


As a result, I am closing Dialogue on Remaking Law Firms. The blog will remain available to those who choose to use it as a resource, but will no longer solicit or accept new posts.

Dialogue on Remaking Law Firms has completed four years of service since December 2015. It was founded to promote my book, co-authored with Dr Imme Kaschner, Remaking Law Firms: Why and How (American Bar Association, March 2016). 

Dialogue took on a life of its own beyond our book. From 11 countries, 61 contributors enriched its pages with just short of 400 posts. Subscribers responded, reaching just over 4,000.  

It’s a good feeling to go out on a high. Thank you all.

George
