The legal profession is a fast-changing industry. What works one quarter may not work the next. As a result, law firms are always searching for new ways to provide help to clients. Often, this means focusing on the concept of “law new.” The idea behind law new is to provide legal services in innovative and unique ways. These techniques can include focusing on certain kinds of clients, using technology and incorporating different types of fee structures. This type of work can be done by lawyers on their own or by creating separate companies or subsidiaries that offer these services. The term law new is difficult to define, but it typically refers to a field of practice that benefits the client in novel and different ways.
