Introducing HighStreetLawyer Workshare

Law firms will survive the changes taking place in the legal profession by tackling the three key drivers for change as identified by Professor Richard Susskind in his latest book "Tomorrow's Lawyers An Introduction to Your Future". These are "the more for less challenge", "liberalisation" and "technology".

More for less - consumers of legal services want their services to be provided cheaper and there will always be someone willing to provide a cheaper service. How can small law firms provide services more efficiently without damaging profit margins? 

Liberalisation - the Legal Services Act has potentially opened up the legal market to new competition, which at first glance assists consumers. Can small law firms compete with the new market entrants? 

Technology - technological advances can come in a variety of guises. It may be consumer facing technology or back office technology.Either way it has to be available in a way that is efficient and drives bottom line benefits to small law firms. In other words, it has to be both affordable and effective. 

We have recently launched HSL Workshare as a response to these issues. HSL Workshare is a collaboration platform for our member firms and other invited users to share referrals with each other. They can also benefit from shared strategy groups and marketing and compliance advice. 

HSL Workshare is ideal for specialist firms looking for a network of larger firms to refer work to their specialist area. It is also suitable for firms looking for lawyers with expertise that they don't themselves have. even small full service firms will benefit from the strategic groups and the chance to network with other like minded individuals.   

We are looking for more users to help us test this platform over the next few months. With no ongoing obligation other than a few minutes of your time to load your profile and check your messages, HSL Workshare is an easy way of getting involved in the HSL brand as it continues to grow.
