In many jurisdictions, self-representation rates are highest in family cases. But, as any family law attorney (or family court litigant) knows, these are the case types that arguably benefit most from attorney involvement.

Download or read book Transactional Legal Services and Corporations Buying Intentions written by Katja Friedrich and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - General, University of Gloucestershire, language: English, abstract: This literature review investigates factors influencing the choice and future buying intentions for transactional legal services at large law firms. In doing so, two marketing concepts, namely perceived service value and commitment are integrated and their relationships examined. There are two parts to this literature review. Part 1 draws on the services marketing literature and reviews past research on legal services’ credence attributes, future buying intentions, perceived value and affective and calculative commitment with particular focus on professional services. This part serves to gain a better understanding of the conceptual elements more broadly that would otherwise have been dismissed. Part 2 discusses the results of the systematic literature review undertaken on future buying intentions/the choice of legal services and large law firms. The words “choice” and “future buying intentions” are used interchangeably, implying the equivalent meaning in this context. The systematic literature review was conducted in addition to Part 1 because very little academic research on legal services could be found. It served to further circumstantiate and identify elements that are relevant in the legal context. From my findings there are commonly scholars from four different academic disciplines who examine particular aspects of the legal industry, i.e. legal scholars, economists, marketing scholars and sociologists. While legal scholars frequently discuss and analyze the law and ethical aspects of lawyering, economists often focus on the growth of law firms and emphasize the asymmetry of information between customers and service providers. Marketing scholars typically seek to understand particular constructs such as client-attorney relationships, satisfaction or service quality and identify choice criteria in determining the essence of particular constructs from a consumer’s and/or corporate client’s perspective. Sociologists on the other hand often study the legal profession as a whole. Studies concerned with buying intentions in the legal context usually address the value of legal services in general, law firm growth and/or decision-making. Prior empirical research that focuses on purchasing-decisions for transactional legal work at large law firms or legal work at law firms in general, is scant and mostly undertaken in the United States.
Download or read book Future buying intentions for complex transactional legal services written by Katja Friedrich and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 9, University of Gloucestershire, language: English, abstract: The future of large law firms is a topic that has intrigued scholars and practitioners alike particularly over the last decade due to a changing economic and global competitive landscape, technological advancements and changing client demands. While numerous articles have outlined trends and uncertainties likely to impact large law firms in the future, opinions remain split on the changes likely to occur over the next 10 years. Common consensus exists on the notion that large law firms are increasingly under pressure to change, change to be more efficient, change to better manage knowledge, change to be more innovative and change to better demonstrate service value. It appears that organizations have become more discerning in purchasing legal services and the choice of legal providers. This study is novel in the professional services domain as it empirically identifies and investigates factors that influence future buying intentions for complex transactional legal services at large law firms in the German context. Transactional legal work refers to business transactions that take place predominately outside of court and involves the drafting of contracts and compliance with law across various practice areas. This study seeks to develop a conceptual model based on primary research gathered through semi-structured interviews and by means of a questionnaire to offer managerial recommendations in strategic decision-making and to extend the body of literature for an important but neglected area, i.e. professional services.
