The Future of Full-Service Law Firms

Most legal matters are local and only require one or two attorneys.  Yes, big law firms will always be essential for some bet-the-company and multi-district matters.  And, yes the largest corporate legal departments will continue to leverage their volume into affordable rates at the one-stop firms.

However, most business and corporate clients have little reason to pay full-menu prices when equally good lawyers can be found a la carte at small specialty firms that charge less and, arguably, work harder for their business.  The case for these "microboutiques" grows daily as more and more of them are being started by former big-firm lawyers.  We make that case in this 4-minute video.

If you hire lawyers for your company, we'd like to know what you think.
