Do more with less. Work better, faster and cheaper. Keep quality and service high. This is how law is practiced now. Whether you’re a general counsel or a partner at a law firm, these mantras are the governing paradigms. Successfully navigating the evolving legal economy can be a challenge, and lawyers need to think differently. Start by collaborating more. It’s healthy and efficient for your law department, your firm and your career.
Known for their competitive spirits, legal professionals often have misconceptions about collaboration. They improperly view it as weak, “only for engineers,” not something you do to get serious work done. Such beliefs are flawed and shortsighted. Collaboration isn’t a dirty word; it’s an ingredient for success.
