Long time legal management blogger Rees Morrison announced yesterday that he has left Hidebrandt to start his own independent practice as a legal department consultant.  His company will focus on working with in-house corporate counsel, advising on internal management issues, strategy and outside counsel relationships.

Congratulations Rees, and here’s to a prosperous new future!

Larry Bodine notes the release of a legal industry statistics summary on his Law marketing portal. The document was put together by Margaret Grisdela, president of Legal Expert Connections.

The survey covers everything from the number of lawyers licensed to practice in the U.S., to the number of firms, size of firms, etc. It’s a very quick read, and packs a lot of information in one short summary.
