CHANGE

A word on change, innovation and opportunity.
Its a canard that the only permanent thing in the practice of the law and in the world of business, is change.
And we have responded to this how? A few well intentioned people have made it their lives' work to push the change/innovate or die message which sounds well but really is just fear mongering and due to an excess of zeal. The ardent desire to put out their message has led to this school.

I offer another tack: if you cannot take advantage of an opportunity because it is not in line with the direction of your law firm and the type of law firm you want to become then it is not an opportunity for you.
Change is great and will always be accompanied by the sky is falling predictions. However, the thing about change is that you must see how your own law firm or legal services space can benefit from this change. How can you use the change to advance your cause and that of your law firm? How will any of this change become your own personal capital?
If you cannot figure this out then the change is really of no benefit to you.
