Innovation and law, really?

Yes, really.  It can and does exist and whilst clients may have a healthy level of scepticism about it (“Isn’t ‘innovation’ just code for you guys being more efficient but charging the same?” etc), there are some forms of innovation that can really benefit the client too.  Sometimes ‘innovation in law’ is too heavily focused on technological advancement, but in our publication, ‘Disruption in the legal sector: how to make it work for you’ ,we have focused on other types of innovation, ones which have a significant impact on how your work could be undertaken and how you could be charged.  Working on the basis that to be informed is to be empowered, we hope you find this useful background and it should help you ask probing questions of you law firm to see how they measure up.  Your business is important and you deserve a forward looking law firm on your side.

We think it makes an informative read, but if you are short on time, skim through to the coloured boxes…
