“ReInvent Law:” You Have Spoken
A few weeks ago I ran a column about “ReInvent Law,” an event in Silicon Valley in the first half of March, which presented some views about possible futures of BigLaw, most of which were, uh, challenging to those who think business as usual is a strategy. My column wasn’t so much about whether I more…
Shameless You-Know-What
OK, cut a guy some slack, but I found this one of the most profoundly thoughtful reactions to Growth Is Dead: Now What? that I’ve seen (from a very recent review on Amazon): In last month’s Harvard Business Review (March 2013), Larry Downes and Paul F. Nunes suggest the first and best defense for market more…

We Can Do Better
As a securities lawyer, I’ve read my share of financial disclosure documents, but I’ve never seen one in our industry-until today, when K&L Gates released its 2012 results (the figures were unaudited on the release date, but they will be audited shortly). When you think about it, this is a preposterous state of affairs. We are more…
