04.11.2025
The legal profession is undergoing a significant transformation in how legal services are priced. The traditional billable hour model, which has dominated for decades, is increasingly being questioned by clients, firms, and legal professionals alike. The world of legal pricing is evolving rapidly, driven by shifts in client expectations, technological advancements, and new market dynamics. Law firms and legal professionals must adapt to these changes to stay competitive, ensure profitability, and meet the demands of a diverse and increasingly cost-conscious client base.
Mastering Legal Pricing: Strategies for Profit, Value, and Innovation explores the evolving landscape of legal pricing, addressing the challenges and opportunities that law firms face in adapting to modern economic demands. From the traditional billable hour to alternative models such as subscription-based services and value-based pricing, this book examines the impact of client expectations, technology, and evolving business strategies. It provides insight into the tools, frameworks, and strategies necessary to create more transparent and efficient pricing models that align with both client needs and law firm profitability.

Beyond Bias: Unleashing the Potential of Women in Law, Second Edition
03.11.2025
The new edition of Beyond Bias is now live for subscribers.
Despite decades of effort, the legal profession remains one of the least diverse industries, with systemic barriers affecting who enters, advances, and succeeds. Bias – whether conscious or unconscious – perpetuates inequality, impacting hiring, promotions, pay, and leadership opportunities. The traditional pipeline to legal success favors those with economic privilege, established networks, and cultural capital, leaving others at a disadvantage. There are more women than ever before in the legal profession, but the seniority gap remains and barriers to success persist.
Written by women lawyers who have achieved success, despite the odds, and leading experts who have helped law firms and corporations implement meaningful change, Beyond Bias is more than just an exploration of the problem – it is a roadmap for transforming the legal profession into one that truly reflects the diversity of the world it serves.
At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are under fire, this book makes the business case for gender equity, showing how inclusive teams drive better decision-making, innovation, and profitability.
