Independence 4 Independents

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! As lawyers, we read a lot about the disintegration (or, evolution) of the traditional law firm model: here, here, here, and here are some examples. There’s more (a lot more), but you get the point. Or, you may read about law firms developing incubators so resources can be devoted to thought-leading and disruptive applications, without overburdening or distracting fee earners from revenue-generating activities: a collaborative approach here; a European approach here; and a directory of American approaches here. So the legal marketplace’s evolution teaches us about how a ..read more

FAQ: WHY?
CoLaw | Lawyer Coworking and Law Practice Management
by Kevin Pratt
4y ago
CoLaw is asked the “why” question consistently (like: every day). The question goes like this: why do we (lawyers/law practice professionals/law companies) need CoLaw; couldn’t we simply access workspace solutions independent of CoLaw? The answer to the latter question is: yes. Certainly, you can evaluate, access, and negotiate flexible workspace arrangements in much the same way you can serve as your own financial planner, wealth management advisor, or law practice management advisor. Your capacity to do any (or all) of the above depends on the time you can devote to the task. Depending on th ..read more

The Human Lawyer: Landis Wade

Landis Wade spent a career trying to prove and disprove facts in a courtroom or a boardroom. For thirty-five years, he did it, and did it well, whether to a jury of his peers or judges around the country. But perhaps his greatest “trial victory” is proving the accurateness of this statement: "a legal education prepares you to think, which equips you to do anything.” Because you likely remember your earnest encouragers, who espoused the virtues of your decision to attend law school. Armed with that memory, you likely recall the existential doubt you had in your legal career struggling with wond ..read more

Living the Human Lawyer Experience: Shannon Blackwell (A Society 54 x CoLaw Collaboration)

You don’t have to be a lawyer to know how to think like a lawyer; act like a lawyer; talk like a lawyer, or interact with lawyers. In fact, perhaps some of the best lawyers are the non-lawyers in our lives; those impassioned advocates who stand with stable-footed conviction behind causes. Conversely, you don’t have to be a human to be a lawyer, so a critic may say. The same critic may say that an average lawyer has been so dehumanized that the re-humanization process is comparable to a rocket ship re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. We’re not here to debate the efficacy of the critic’s viewpoi ..read more
