The September/October issue of the ABA Law Practice Magazine covers virtual law practices. I was the guest editor for this issue of the magazine and wrote the story Moving to a Virtual Practice Model – Do You Have the Right Stuff? I won't recapitulate the entire article here, other than to say my conclusion is "it depends." But I have no doubt this business model will prove very attractive to some.
I appreciate all of those who contributed to this issue of the magazine. There is a lot of great content here from a lot of experts. The features include:
The Next Five Years – Predictions for the Future of eLawyering By Richard S. Granat and Marc Lauritsen
