do you aspire to be an agile attorney?
I recently posted about a Slack team for agile attorneys. (Check it out here.) Its creator is John Grant, an attorney who helps other attorneys achieve an agile practice.
If you’re interested in learning more about agile as it applies to your legal work, you must check out John’s blog Legal Value Theory. In it, he shares helpful insights and thoughts on topics ranging from operational matters to your legal services business model to kanban* for lawyers.
What is agile, anyway? I find the principles behind the Agile Manifesto to pinpoint exactly what makes agile so relevant to work in the 21st century. The manifesto refers specifically to software design, but nearly all of its principles correlate directly to work lawyers do. “Responding to change over following a plan” is a core tenet, and one especially à propos to the massive change currently churning the legal profession.
I’m currently compiling a list of additional resources for the agile lawyer, which I’ll share shortly. Stay tuned.
*As a big proponent of kanban (both at home and in my work), I find John’s posts on this topic of particular value to anyone who aspires to create an inspired practice.
