Law is a fast moving field that sees new approaches to legal work at every turn. Firms that wish to keep their clients happy and ensure the success of the company must always be open to the latest ideas and methods. One such idea is called law new and it is a concept that all companies should take the time to understand as well as possible.

Law new refers to the way that legal firms are now able to offer the type of legal help that many clients need without having to sacrifice the traditional aspects of their business that make them successful. Often, this means offering the service at a much lower cost than is normally seen and using staffers who are not on a partner track. This also can involve the use of a range of technologies that have not been seen before in a law office setting and it might even mean providing the kind of legal assistance that is typically seen as outside the realms of standard law practice.

It is a method of working that many lawyers feel can be very beneficial and they are keen to make the most of it for the benefit of their clients. The concept is one that should be looked at closely by any firm that wishes to keep up with the competition and it may well be a very effective tool to use in the future.

Definitions of “law” vary widely, from utilitarian theories such as those promoted by John Austin, which assert that law is a set of commands, backed by the threat of sanction, from a sovereign to whom people have a habit of obedience; through to natural law theory (such as that advocated by St Thomas Aquinas) which posits that there are laws in nature, unchanging and universal.
