Louis Lehr, Jr., started with the firm that would later take his name, Arnstein & Lehr, in 1955. At the time, the firm had 15 attorneys, conducted all of its correspondence via mail, and its technological strategy was to, as he says, “hire secretaries with strong fingers so they could make a lot of copies.”
It’s safe to say that the practice of law has changed over Lehr’s 60 years with the Chicago-based firm, and the 86-year-old has changed along with it. These days, Lehr works remotely for half the year, using Apple products to check his email, and helps manage the firm and any cases he takes on with Citrix. Recently, Lehr talked with Legaltech News about the changes in the legal industry that have occurred over his 60 years and more.
