Clients have the power, so why don’t they make law firms drive real change?
As part of July’s theme of “What Clients (Really) Want”, Ben speaks with Alex Hamilton. Alex covers the perniciousness of incentives, why the billable hour infects everything, innovation theatre – and whether General Counsel really want things to be any different.
