FT US Innovative Lawyers Report 2010 FTIL US 25 Nov 2010

For the inaugural edition of the FT US Innovative Lawyers Report, we have focused on the work that lawyers do rather than the business of law. In this sense, the 2010 report is more about black-letter lawyering and the value that lawyers can bring to their clients rather than the state of innovation in the legal industry.

Law firms were invited to send examples of their work to the research team. These case studies were then analysed through client and lawyer interviews to identify and evaluate the legal innovation and commercial results. FT Innovative Lawyers is a comparative exercise so examples of work are benchmarked against each other to produce the tables in the report.
