Addressing the Fraying Partnership
We are now in the sixth year of intense structural pressure on the legal industry, and it has become clear to everyone that we are not going back to the way things were. Lawyers are not alone, of course. Most other industries have experienced similar or in many cases far more significant pressures on their business models.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.

Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel
