A well-planned client transition protects the trust you spent years building, gives your successor a stronger foundation, and helps clients feel cared for rather than simply handed off.

What actually moves a lawyer forward is a series of realizations that, stacked one on top of the other, let them create tremendous value.
October 01, 2026Eduardo PaizLaw firms do not have a training-hours problem. They have an operating-model problem. They select leaders without defining the job, ask them to own outcomes without giving them authority or time, and measure the financial result without tracking the behaviors that produced it. Training can strengthen a leader, but it cannot repair those contradictions.
October 01, 2026Phil Flora and Marcie Borgal ShunkWe have reached a point where AI processing software has become effective enough to nearly replace the need for initial lawyer or paralegal reviews of deposition, preliminary hearing or trial transcripts. But while AI can quickly provide initial summaries of such documents, producing a legal evaluation of those summaries is another story.
October 01, 2026Peter VairaHow can legal teams move fast, reduce costs, and handle greater volumes of information? AI has rapidly become the de facto answer. But beneath the enthusiasm for AI, how are practitioners actually using AI-driven tools — and what are they learning as adoption shifts from experimentation to daily operations?
September 01, 2026Krystal Putman-GarciaA business plan nobody reviews after submission was never really a plan; it was a form. Five decisions, revisited on a quarterly rhythm and built on evidence instead of aspiration, is a discipline. Firms that make that shift won’t just get better plans, they’ll get plans attorneys actually use.
September 01, 2026Mike MellorThe legal industry doesn’t have a shortage of talented women. It has a shortage of rooms built for them to become leaders in. The firms that start filling that gap now, while there are still only a handful of these programs to choose from, will be the ones with the deepest bench when the leadership transition everyone can see coming actually arrives.

September 01, 2026N. Elizabeth Fried, Ph.D.As global law practices and flexible work arrangements expand, lawyers are increasingly working outside their home jurisdictions. Whether driven by client needs, secondments, or remote work flexibility, these arrangements can quietly create tax residency and permanent establishment risks, often sooner than expected and without formal firm approval.
September 01, 2026Carmella YaworskiThe outsourcing of office and administrative services is expected to grow 50%-60% in the next five years. Contrary to what decision-makers think, and what the service providers hope you think, the biggest risk in outsourcing isn't choosing the wrong provider. It's outsourcing the wrong process, under the wrong model, with the wrong performance measures and contract terms.
