In a recent development within the legal world, growing numbers of clients are forming “virtual law firms” by selecting top performers from different teams to create their so-called “dream team”. This fresh approach provides a more customised service as clients select the best legal professionals from each firm to handle their cases.
Jennifer Stevenson, a notable personality at Shook Hardy, shed light on this trend confirming the firm has noticed an increase in such practices. Uniquely, Shook is tending to this demand by providing strategy counselling to their clients.
This strategic move allows clients to access a more disciplined, efficient, and targeted array of services, reshaping the conventional boundaries between clients and their legal advisors. As clients gain more control over their legal representations, experts believe that this could lead to a significant shift within the legal services sector.
