Title: Better, cheaper, faster
Description: "The past few years have seen incredible innovations and growth in the way legal services can be delivered--yet most law firms around the world continue to practice law the way it's been practiced for centuries, namely, as a labor-intensive endeavor carried out by high-priced lawyers billing by the hour. Directly inspired by Richard Susskind's groundbreaking The End of Lawyers? (Oxford Univ. Press 2008) Toronto lawyer Mitchell Kowalski now provides a vivid, believable account of everything a law firm could be. The fictional firm of Bowen, Fong and Chandri, PC, represents the cutting edge of how a law firm can deliver top-notch legal services, build business and satisfy clients, end reliance on the billable hour, leverage technology, and constantly enhance and improve its performance--all while attracting and retaining top talent. Through the eyes of a general counsel considering whether to retain the firm, and a new associate learning how the firm operates, you'll discover the surprising secrets that those running the law firms of the future need to know"--Provided by publisher.
