What Is Law New?

The legal profession is a fast-paced and ever-changing field. Keeping up with changes in the law requires an open mind and a willingness to explore new ways to benefit clients. One idea that many firms are exploring is “law new.” While it’s not easy to define, this concept can offer firms a way to serve clients in ways that don’t fit the traditional mold, while also providing a source of revenue and a different focus.
