The Future of the Law Firm - A report prepared for Eversheds law firm

A recently released report from the Eversheds international law firm discusses some conclusions for the future of the legal profession. One of the elements not really addressed in my reading of the release was the disconnect between lawyers and their clients in large corporate enterprises. Why should this be the case? Why should lawyers and the folks they represent be far apart in their thinking about the profession and how it is being conducted?

I agree 100%. Factors such as goodwill are built up through relationships with and not mere marketing, so much so that it reflects as a tangible asset on the balance sheet of any company.

How else attain goodwill but through building trusting relationships. Relationships are better maintained if they are with people as opposed to large faceless entities. Most clients don't want to be viewed as a mere number.
