Convergence

Attached is an article that I wrote as the cover article of the current edition of FD Legal in London. I have received gratifyingly positive feedback to it from managing partners and executive directors on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond, to whom I sent advance copies, so am posting it for all readers that do not see FD Legal (which is a journal aimed particularly at law firm financial directors in Europe.)
The article concerns changes that might emerge over the coming 5 - 10 years in the way that legal services are delivered to clients across the globe. Feedback, comment and constructive criticism, as always, is most welcome.
