Thompson Hine’s innovation success is featured in The American Lawyer’s The Law Firm Disrupted, a weekly feature focusing on competitive pressures on law firms and insights on the tactics and tech employed by would-be disruptors. The article, “The Law Firm Disrupted: A Fresh Face at the Top of an Innovation Leader.”
Thompson Hine’s investment in innovation to deliver legal services more efficiently is featured in the article, as is the firm’s innovation survey and its budgeting protocol, which includes AI tools for lawyers that allow them to apply past data to predict the cost of new matters.
Noting that the “investments made by outgoing managing partner Deborah Read have made a real difference to the firm’s clients,” the article features commentary from Thompson Hine’s incoming managing partner, Tony White, who said he would be working closely with clients to identify and implement areas where it can be deployed to increase efficiencies. “The things that law firms do that are not at the core of legal advice, those are at risk from non-law firms equipped with technology,” he said.
