There’s more and more chatter about the rise of “the Big Four” consulting groups* and whether they plan to take over the world—or at least the legal world. You may want to listen to the chatter, especially if you are in the early years of your career.

In today’s PinHawk Law Technology Daily Digest, editor Jeffrey Brandt points out Ron Friedmann‘s post, “Will All Lawyers Work for the Big 4 by 2026?” Friedmann was speaking on a panel at the College of Law Practice Management 2016 Futures Conference.

“His short answer is ‘no’ but his long answer is ‘a higher percent of lawyers and staff will work for Big 4 than they do now, perhaps much higher,” says Brandt. PinHawkBlog

Friedmann is a partner at Fireman & Company, based in Washington, D.C. metro area. Brandt is the CIO at Jackson Kelly, based in Charleston, West Virginia.  Check out Friedmann’s post at Prism Legal.
