features PAGE 42 Law2020TM The Future Starts Now by John Alber 2007 was the most profitable year for law firms on record. As the decade turned, however, a shadow loomed.

In 2010, it’s clear that a sea change is taking place, and law firms face the prospect of the most dynamic and threatening decade of the last fifty years. Some firms will emerge from this decade thriving. Some will treat the changing environment as a field of opportunities and from that field will harvest real growth. Law2020, ILTA’s forward- looking educational initiative, will provide thought- leadership across the ten years ahead. And it starts here!
