Ron Friedmann at Prism Legal posted a nice blog entry about LawSourcing today. (Thanks Ron!)

In his blog post, he quotes from one of his recent articles where he wrote:

The core business of law firms is a combination of solving legal problems and helping clients cope with difficult situations. An old adage says that lawyers are finders (business getters), minders (relationship managers), or grinders (ones who crank out legal work). Today, lawyers who are great at “client hand holding” typically rely on a partner or associate to do the legal work. Could the minder instead outsource this to a lawyer in another organization? The point is that even in what many would consider the core business of law firms lie potential outsourcing opportunities.

We’ve designed LawSourcing to help finders and minders reach grinders. Frankly, we think this will play a fundamental role in the future of legal outsourcing.
