Outsourcing—particularly to third-party providers in remote locations—is here to stay. Similarly, there is a trend towards computing "in the cloud" (GoogleDocs is probably the most familiar example), which spares your firm painful and expensive software in-stallations and upgrades, enhances collaboration, and makes your work available 24/7 from any device that can get online. But what are the ethical implications in sharing confidential documents and work product with third parties?
Learn what you need to know to disaggregate intelligently. Firms will find it essential to mine and analyze data they have ignored. Competitive intelligence (focusing on the external environment), business intelligence (focusing on firms' internal processes), and knowledge management will be new growth sectors inside law firms. Be sure you stay strictly within the bounds of the profession's ethical traditions
