<b><i>Voice of the Client:</i></b> What Does 'Different' Mean?
If we say firms need to do something different, what does “different” mean? For as long as I've been in this industry, law firms have been struggling to improve their financial performance. For those of us who were in-house, we know that aggressive cost-cutting measures were generally the first steps that were taken to improve bottom-line performance metrics.
For those firms that weren't serious about cost-cutting before 2008, they likely became converts shortly thereafter. It's no secret that demand for legal services is flat, competition is stiff, and the ability to differentiate is still seemingly elusive. However, relatively recently, my colleagues and I began hearing a consistent message from law firm leadership. They told us that they need to “do something different” as they seek ways to survive and thrive in the ultra-competitive 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.
