Absolutely! BigLaw is (was?) a house of cards waiting for the right circumstances to blow it over. My law practice is only part time, and I run it like my software company operates - lean, innovative and hellbent on providing really good value for clients. I have more than enough legal clients in the pipeline to keep me busy and my startup background gives me a great foundation for advising my target clients. As for tools to run my practice, if I can't get what I need at a reasonable price I build it and make it available to my colleagues at a reasonable price.

You sound like my kind of lawyer. We should be organizing like-minded lawyers and forcing changes on a bigger scale.

Please get in touch with me. My firm's homepage should appear in my profile.

Another lawyer here who feels the same way. Cheers.
