Description
Can innovation be expected in the business of law firms? Innovation has probably been the hottest topic in management during the last decade. However, it seems like an insignificant matter for most lawyers compared with their clients’ legal issues. How can innovation help or complicate business for lawyers? In light of constant changes in business, can lawyers continue to be resistant to change and innovation?
