Law 2023: A Look Ahead
The future of the legal industry isn't what it used to be. Or so says a recent report issued by Law2023.org, a group of industry insiders ' including this writer ' who spent a year studying the trajectory of the legal marketplace. The approach and the findings are surprising in a number of ways, but also refreshing. The future presents both disruptive change and extraordinary opportunity, for both incumbents and newcomers.

New entrants to evolving markets often have very different perspectives, unaffiliated with the status quo, allowing them to create disruptions and carve out new opportunities.

What if we ignore the current state and look at the future under a different lens, envisioning how global economic, technological, and cultural change will be manifest a decade from now, and then envision a law firm built to address this world?
