<b><i>Leadership:</i></b> Leveraging Charismatic Leadership to Facilitate Change in Big Law
It's no secret that Big Law, not to mention the entire legal industry, has experienced unprecedented and profound change since 2008. And it's expected to continue. According to Altman Weil's 2015 Law Firms in Transition Survey, 72% of law firm leaders believe the current pace of change will only increase. Yet despite appearing to accept that rapid and ongoing market change is here to stay, firms, and their leaders, have responded with change efforts that can largely be described as limited and reactive short-term solutions. Why? The answer is simple: Implementing significant organizational change isn't easy. There is inevitably resistance from powerful stakeholders, namely partners, who see no reason to modify operations currently meeting their personal needs.
That said, to keep pace with clients' relentless demand for greater efficiency and predictability in the delivery of legal services, law firm leaders must be capable of facilitating deeper strategic initiatives that drive vital firm-wide change. By embracing the practices of charismatic leadership, law firm leaders can guide their firms toward the adoption of methods that enable the firm not to just survive, but thrive in the increasingly competitive and highly dynamic legal industry.

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. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel
'Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel is a continuation of the discussion of client expectations and the disconnect that often occurs.
