Lucian Pera shared his perspective on how venerated legal directory and rankings publisher Chambers & Partners might consider ranking alternative legal service providers (ALSPs) alongside traditional law firms in its guides.
As Lucian and his co-author, Yvonne Nath of LawVision, point out, the changing views and hiring practices of in-house counsel point to a shift in acceptance of ALSPs as major providers of legal services. The authors explore ethical questions surrounding ALSPs and non-lawyers providing legal services, as well as how Chambers might make changes to reflect this emerging sector of the legal services marketplace.
