Law new is an important concept that should be considered by all lawyers. It is about taking an existing area of legal practice that may be less than fully utilized and using it as a means to add value for clients. The idea is to find ways that the new area of legal practice can be used as a stand alone technique without impacting the primary focus of a law firm’s practice. This will allow the law firm to offer the help that many clients need without impacting other areas of their practice.
