Our society and its values, our business models, and our demographics are changing much more rapidly than our law practice models.
Most lawyers are irrelevant to most people and businesses now.
Either they cannot afford them, business is changing to quickly to wait for the law, or they are using alternatives to lawyers. Unless we change our profession rapidly, we'll be irrelevant to even more potential clients, including the best of current clients, within a very few years. In a sense this is about changing technology. But actually is it about how peoples' thinking has changed and will change all the more rapidly in the next few years because of the choices, powers and new values technology is putting in our hands and in our heads. Those choices, powers and values are time bombs in your practice.
