THE PROBLEM.
The legal profession is under duress and in transition. In response,
many
lawyers are leaving their firms, starting solo practices and small law firms, moving to
other firms, merging practices and taking in-house counsel positions
at an unprecedented rate. But change brings its own set of problems.
THE COBBLER'S CHILDREN. Sometimes law firms are
like the cobbler's children: since the cobbler spends his time making
shoes for paying customers, his children end up
going barefooted. Likewise, when law firms commit their time to
their clients, they often don't tend to their own legal and business
needs. And as our profession becomes more specialized and
demanding, not every lawyer knows how to incorporate a law firm or
prepare a partnership agreement,
much less how to set up law firm technology and firm administration.
FOR LAWYERS AND LAW FIRMS,
legal representation
and related advisory services in
law office technology, firm management and office administration - a lawyer's lawyer,
a confidant and a practical advisor.
