Many law firms today are far too focused on increasing market
share; they should be paying attention to what makes them a more
profitable business. Market share doesn't matter much if you're not
profitable, and firms cannot simply grow their way to prosperity by
undercutting the competition. Instead, firms must focus on value
creation and increasing clients' willingness to pay for their
services. The question should be: "What can your firm do better, or
more efficiently, and more profitably than anyone else?" The

Technology examines why a focus on profitability and metrics is
reshaping law firm operations and matter management; how to define
the bottom line and to distinguish between "good" revenue and
"bad"; and how to change the dialogue from "hours and revenue" to

market share to simply running a profitable business. The Mechanics
