Ignite Law 2011 at ABA TechShow In 2019, your law practice will use cloud computing, a paperless office, and the iPad 10. But those won’t be the biggest changes to how you practice law. Instead, the biggest difference will be in the way you value and price what you sell. And before you can make that change, you have to understand what it is you sell. Spoiler alert: It ain’t “legal services,” and it sure as hell ain’t “hours” or “time.” Instead, lawyers sell knowledge. How you value and price that knowledge will be the greatest change in your 2019 practice (before you hop in your flying car and head to court). LexThink 2013 at ABA TechShow The most common career advice is “do what you’re good at.” And you probably listened, right? Which is fine. But do you ever wonder, “Is this it?

It’s not too late. Speaker, writer, and recovering lawyer Jay Shepherd will give you the five steps you’ll need to be happier, disrupt your legal marketplace, and maybe even change the world.
