The legal industry is shifting at a pace most firms have never experienced. Large law firms have the capital to absorb major disruptions. Small and mid-sized firms do not have that luxury. That pressure is also their greatest advantage. Smaller firms are making faster decisions.

Those responsibilities do not always require someone to sit in the same office as the attorney.
