In this episode, Rob Patterson of Parkins Lane and Paul Evans of Toro Digital chat with Pier D’Angelo, Chief Strategy Officer of Allens.

We discuss:
The advantages of law firms creating a specific role that focuses on strategy and its execution.
The Big 4 accounting firms entering the legal market, what does it mean for law firms?
Is NewLaw going to disrupt incumbent law firms as much as the media write about?
The fastest-growing legal segment into the industry – in-house counsel.  How can law firms and corporate counsel work together in the future to create the most mutual value?
The downward fee pressure that’s facing commercial law firms, and it’s importance from a procurement perspective.
Law firms are still law firms… and they’re still providing great value to their clients.  So what’s next and where is the market moving? Can we actually expect a revolution or will it be incremental changes?
