Taking a cue from some of the organizations that have displaced traditional Fortune 500 companies, if we abandon all that we know to be true—the billable hour as the pinnacle of measuring performance, the pyramid structure comprised predominantly of trained lawyers, the adulation of sophisticated legal services—what's left?

    By DANIELLA ISAACSON, ESQ., SENIOR ANALYST, ALM INTELLIGENCE | September 21, 2017
