Calling Your Lawyer with Changes in the Business Law Landscape

The legal profession has changed through the years. Like other industries, law firms have become nimbler, technology savvy and efficient. Most client work is project and fee based. This allows for predictability of fees for the client and work planning for the firm. Hourly rates are still in place, but becoming rarer as work is scoped, planned and delivered. Legal industry change is generally viewed through the narrow lens of the profession. Lawyers have long controlled all facets of the industry—education, training, delivery of self-proclaimed “legal services,” the judicial process, and regulation. They have also scripted the industry narrative.

That’s changing—business is recasting the culture, mindset, role, remit, and purpose of the legal function. Lawyers are a segment of an increasingly diverse, tech-enabled, data-backed, fit-for-customer/business purpose legal function. Many lawyers and industry pundits see little evidence of this—large firms continue to prosper, rates are climbing, and the talent war is driving up compensation packages
