"The resistance to change is driven by the fact that the majority of lawyers make a lot of money being inefficient."
Your comments refuting this are well taken and in hindsight my comment above was cynical and lazy...probably somewhat due to recently paying an enormous legal bill.
Totally understandable... Legal technology is a fairly interesting sub-field that has implications for corporate administrative technology more generally (at least in larger companies). The document management problem is far from solved, for example. There has been a push towards a more diverse set of legal service offerings. Not every deal needs to be scrutinized in the same way as a mega-merger. But that's something clients have to be on board with--accept more risk for lower cost and faster turn-around. Boutiques are popping up that are offering such services.
