1. Metrics, e.g. FMC Model

• Advocacy • Counseling• Process• Content

• High value, low volume• Highest value, mid volume• Others are better• High volume, non-unique

We pay firms to provide what they are least capable of doing.

We will move to a world where content is free, hourly rates or value-based charges for advocacy and counseling will

increase significantly, and the law firm and legal delivery system models will undergo massive disruption.
