I had a wonderful and illuminating trip to Toronto and was honoured to be asked to speak with a stellar legal panel comprised of a variety of prestigious large law firm and major corporate in-house counsel as well as with Paul Lippe the founder of- Legal Onramp- a collaborative tool for lawyers and their clients to share information and to increase efficiency while lowering their costs.
I spoke on alternative fee arrangements for individual clients working with smaller law firms and about how technology and social media helps small firms and their clients all become part of a collaborative team. I told the managing partners from most of Canada’s leading law firms that the goal, for lawyer and client at our firm, is to make “everyone like part of the crew leaving no one as part of the cargo.” MacLean Family Law Group’s focus at my BC Family Law practice is on the use of technology to increase our ability to better serve our family law clients.
It was a delight to listen to Richard Susskind predict the future of law and for lawyers and I recommend you read his books on the topic of massive change to the provision of legal services he has authored including “The Future of Law”.
