Similarly, I bet most legal professionals don’t realize how long ABA TECHSHOW and its mission have been around or the significance of its longevity.

In 2015, after 18 years at the same firm, including several as managing partner, he came to believe that most firms operated under a broken business model. Within weeks, he and several colleagues left the firm to start a smaller, more innovative practice, and he began to develop the concept for LawClerk , a marketplace where solos and small firms can hire freelance lawyers to assist them with specific projects.
