One of the key challenges facing every lawyer is how to determine when it is to your advantage to share information openly, and when is it is best to keep information and customer relations private.

In this increasingly-networked world, every law firm is trying to manage knowledge, while extending its reach beyond its existing client base. Clients already have access to free information via the Internet, and are beginning to realize that the value of that information is entirely dependent on how the information is used. In fact, despite the road bumps, the Internet economy still offers unprecedented opportunity for lawyers who can transition to new products and services, to complement their existing practices.
