Once upon a time, about 11 years ago, uber legal publisher Steve Brill decided to start publishing a technology magazine called AmLaw Tech. The folks at American Lawyer Media called me in to gauge my interest in serving as the editor. I ultimately decided not to pursue the job.
Around the same time, an entrepreneur named Peter Ozolin started Legal Anywhere and began preaching the value of extranets to law firms. I'm sure he had many a door slammed in his face (as all entrepreneurs do). Extrawhat?
That was then and this is now. AmLaw Tech is alive and well and has just released its 11th Annual AmLaw Tech Survey. Of the firms that participated in the survey, 70% now have extranets. Peter must feel vindicated.
Even more interesting than the survey is Marcy Burstiner's insightful analysis. Check it out.
