by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - January 6, 2009 - Tuesday's Top Ten
Here are the top ten things I expect to see in 2009:
2009 should be an exciting year for the legal industry, not in its complacency but in the chaos which the market downturn will inflict upon law firms. Many of these firms will not have the foggiest idea what to do. For years, they simply added more and more associates to their model and more hours to their minimums. For the first time in many decades, lawyers will not be able to protect themselves from innovation in competition by their sheer size and momentum. All of this will be healthy for the legal industry which is long overdue for a healthy dose of change.
What are your thoughts? What changes do you expect will be coming in 2009?
