We heard this week at the Georgetown Law Firm Evolution symposium that there’s a general expectation from in-house lawyers that private firms should lead the charge to collaborate and come up with creative solutions.

Share examples—from fee arrangements to increased efficiencies you’ve put in place—in the comments.
