The Business of Law (2009)
Authors: Ashley Balls and Ron Pol
The Business of Law 2009, 2nd edition is the latest, most comprehensive report on the state of the business of law in New Zealand. It provides an in-depth analysis of the trends affecting the legal profession, supported by relevant demographic, statistical and financial data. The underlying message in this report is clear: the legal industry globally is changing rapidly and New Zealand is not exempt. While developments may pose some threats to long established legal markets, they will also create new opportunities. Those lawyers who are alert to these developments and are ready for change will thrive. Those who are not may not survive.
