New players driving value for legal departments was written by Mark Cohen and Liam Brown and originally appeared in Canadian Corporate Counsel Association magazine. As I read it, the key point Mark and Liam make is that the NewLaw players, while still tiny in market share, are teaching clients new tricks. And this spells big opportunity – or trouble if they’re asleep at the wheel – for BigLaw incumbents.
Remaking Law Firms: Excerpts from reviews
Three months after publication by the American Bar Association Remaking Law Firms: Why & How continues to receive critical acclaim from law firm leaders, clients, commentators and academics in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
Here is a selection of excerpts from reviews on the ABA page for Remaking Law Firms: Why & How.
Evidence: Why BigLaw firms must start remaking now
Here’s the first evidence based on projections of market share showing why BigLaw firms must start remaking their business model now. And by implication, the consequences of not doing so.
Where the market shares of the major players in the legal services industry are headed in the next 10 years makes a major and urgent case for traditional commercial and corporate law firms to act sooner rather than later.
Why Remaking Law Firms is being so well received
Only a few weeks after publication, reviews by clients, law firm leaders, consultants and commentators show why Remaking Law Firms: Why and How is being so well received, filling a large and critical gap for all involved in legal services delivery. Remaking Law Firms is now available from ShopABA.
