The annual paper recently published by Georgetown University and Thomson Reuters—2019 Report on the State of the Legal Market—issued one of the starkest warnings yet of the rapid demise of the traditional law firm model. 

The report urges the legal sector to challenge some of the long-held assumptions underpinning the conventional economic structures adopted by law firms for decades and recommends alternative approaches that are more compatible with the needs of 21st century clients.

So how can midsize firms compete with this model? Should they risk copying their international rivals, or should they use a different weapon to level the playing field? Read what Interlaw chair Glenn Cunningham had to say on Law.com.
