Comments on: Susskind: five years until legal market reaches “endgame” http://www.legalfutures.co.uk/legal-services-act/alternative-business-structures/susskind-five-years-until-legal-market-faces-endgame Market intelligence for law firms of the future Thu, 23 May 2013 03:53:28 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Nick Lindsay http://www.legalfutures.co.uk/legal-services-act/alternative-business-structures/susskind-five-years-until-legal-market-faces-endgame/comment-page-1#comment-18732 Nick Lindsay Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:45:56 +0000 http://www.legalfutures.co.uk/?p=8226#comment-18732 Very interesting but I'm not sure that the process can be split into such distinct stages. From my experience, law firms and in house teams are looking at all the points highlighted in this article to some extent or another though I agree it will take a while before it becomes universal. What they are not doing is 'starting with a blank piece of paper'. I think that will only be provided by new suppliers rather than incumbents.

My only add is that I think there are too many variables, some known and some unknown (evolving technology, new entrants, new technology not yet launched and new entrants that have not announced), to say whether 2016 is a fair timeline or not. But it is a good headline grabber. That said it is such a wide timeline that there is a pretty good chance something will happen in that period. That said I am not sure why we need a timeline anyway. Food for thought...Apple iPhone. Apple entered the market in 2007. They had no prior experience in terms of being a mobile phone provider. Nokia were already deeply embedded. Over the next 3-4 years that world was turned upside down. Jon Interesting.
