With the changing times and issues like the global financial crisis, traditional law firm business models are no longer working. To respond, law firms will have to go beyond just cutting costs, they need to adopt business models that are better adapted to serve their clients not just today, but well into the future. This will mean remaking their business models in accordance with the needs of their commercial clients.
The American Bar Association book "Remaking Law Firms: Why and How" provides examples of innovative and successful business models from remade law firms. Ultimately, this book is meant to fuel a desire for change in law firms that goes beyond thinking and planning, and leads straight into implementing change, and ultimately to better client service.
"There is currently no roadmap to the future for the chronically myopic, change-averse legal profession. Fortunately, now comes this book which tells us in well-documented detail how to pack our bags for the journey ahead," said Janet Welch, executive director of the State Bar of Michigan.
"Remaking Law Firms: Why and How" costs $69.95. To order the book, visit shopaba.org or call 800-285-2221.
