Jim Middlemiss, Financial Post: "The legal industry is facing unprecedented change, and law firms that don't modify the way they run their businesses face extinction.
"That's the conclusion in a new book that examines the enormous change sweeping the profession, Unbound: How Entrepreneurship is Dramatically Transforming Legal Services Today--a must-read for lawyers and law students who want to build successful law businesses.
"Mr. Galbenski, CEO of Lumen Legal, a legal-staffing firm, provides a book that is both topical and timely, coming only six months after the U. S. economy suffered its worst market decline since the Great Depression. It also comes at a time when U.S. law firms are rapidly downsizing and looking for ways to survive.
"The highlight of the book is a series of interviews with leading general counsel, who explain the changing global landscape their companies operate in and the pressures in-house lawyers face to rein in costs since the economic collapse. Their observations are stark and should raise the hairs on the arm of every managing partner, group practice leader and legal marketing expert in the business."
