We need experts who know more about our markets than we do. We spend huge sums of money on hourly work that does not provide much value because it s not integrated with financial and tax considerations. Some law firms cannot grasp that. Often, they get back to us in days or weeks when we need help in hours. When they do get back to us, it s in Word Perfect when we need Word and Office to be global.
Some senior partners can t even use email.
The business law firm model no longer works for us. We need integrated solutions to do business globally. So we look for alternatives. This is happening with companies all over the globe. Most law firms cannot provide the strategic financial advice and strategic partnering that other entities provide.
