FOCUS OF THE DAY: It’s not true that the legal industry is behind the times – in fact, innovation has always been a big part of what makes law such a satisfying profession. Our profession abounds with popular – if often misleading – narratives. One is that the legal industry is slow to change. I disagree: the pace of change in the past decade has been tremendous. Whether lawyers and firms can keep with the pace is a different matter: that is what will distinguish the winners from the losers in the next 10 years. Full story - The Lawyer
