Legal practice is fluid. As the law adapts to social and political changes, so must legal professionals. No law firm is exempt from the impact of these changes, and to be successful, firms must be ready to make adjustments. This is particularly true for small law firms and solo practitioners, who often work under smaller margins than large organizations. However, small firms may have the benefit of greater agility, making these practices better positioned to capitalize on swift legal changes by pivoting quickly.

The legal landscape can defined by the characteristics that arise throughout every aspect of jurisprudence. As laws change, the legal landscape shifts—often in unexpected ways. Shifting political winds are not the only things that cause the legal field change in scope. The law also changes to accommodate new technology and innovation.
