6:22 am in What I Do by nat-colley
As you know if you have been through my posts before, I have a policy of not taking ads from lawyers, and I mention that a lot to promote my lack of bias. However, my host has now started running their own ads on my site, and to stop that I have to pay for an upgrade. I have decided, for the time being, to not invest in the upgrade because sooner or later (hopefully sooner) I am going to need to change hosts anyway in order to upgrade the site, ad features, etc. So if you see ads from lawyers here, please know I have nothing to do with them, and will continue to give my unbiased and objective reports to my customers.
Thank you.

Here’s a quote from the NYT. But what about those businesses without general counsel on staff to at least begin the push back? This is the message I try to communicate to those who will listen.
“Start with the benefit to cost-conscious corporate counsel, who for too long have been bilked by a law firm compensation model that leads lawyers to prioritize their “hourly quotas,” which determine year-end bonuses, over quality service. Unfortunately, the same bar presidents and law firm managing partners who are in a position to do away with the billable-hour format are happy to write op-eds decrying the miserable tradition, yet are unwilling to lead the pack when it comes to taking action.”
