During the past few years, the legal landscape has become more and more competitive. Law firm clients understand that they have more choices and access to legal counsel. As a result, they are seeking increased value, new avenues for the delivery of legal services, alternative fee arrangements, and greater understanding of the risks and potential outcomes of various legal strategies that could affect their business.

In response to heightened client pressures and increased competition, many law firms are modifying law practice management strategies to strengthen service offerings and win new business. This includes adopting corporate financial and business practices designed to achieve greater efficiencies and serving as true business advisers, not just legal counsel.

Our panelists will discuss the efforts by legal organizations to navigate the new realities of today’s business environment and share best practices for improving the delivery of legal services, including highlights from Robert Half Legal’s Future Law Office research.
