Shifting client demands and rising expenses. Changing norms and a dearth of top talent. The explosive growth and inescapable impact of AI. You may view the trends rocking the legal industry as an extraordinary opportunity or as a threat that has you obsessively refreshing your retirement calculator. But in the words of Randy Bachman, \u201cYou Ain\u2019t Seen Nothing Yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Small and Midmarket Law Firms at a Crossroads<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis is a defning moment for the legal profession. I expect\u00a0to see\u00a0more\u00a0change\u00a0across the\u00a0business of law during\u00a0the next 3 to 5 years\u00a0than\u00a0the four previous decades combined,\u201d says legal business advisor Gene Commander, founder of Gene Commander Inc. \u201cFor firms looking to shore up their business model, legacy strategies and obsolete business practices will fall short \u2014 especially for midsize and smaller firms that lack deep bench strength and deep pockets.\u201d <\/p>\n

Playbook for Smart, Sustainable Growth<\/h2>\n
