Vertically Integrated Legal Service

By Neville Eisenberg and Richard Susskind

This article by Neville Eisenberg and Richard Susskind was recently published by Harvard Law School. It is a short article and raises some very interesting points about future business models for law firms. The authors challenge us to think beyond the “old law firm” model and consider a more full-scale vertical integration of the practice of law – a true transformational and fundamental change in approach to the delivery of legal services.
