ALSPs and the Big 4 aren't going away. Clients aren't going to become less aggressive and sophisticated. The AmLaw 2017 results should prove to law firms that even incremental change pays off -- but we're rapidly moving past the point where incrementalism will be enough.

Lower-cost in-house teams spend three times as much on ALSPs (which is still a tiny proportion of spend - 6% v 2%). Imagine what would happen if they went crazy and spent 10%?

@KunoorC @bradblickstein Now @tessblair discusses setting up one of the first firm captive ALSPs at @MorganLewisLaw. But they're a practice group of a law firm. 2/3 of work comes from law firm's clients but 1/3 is their own clients they bring in. (So like cross-selling on steroids!)...

With GenAI Are ALSPs Set For A Golden Age, Or Their Demise?

The reason I ask is that, as the EY/Riverview deal and the steady rise of ALSPs/law companies suggests, commercial/transactional/compliance work is going to high-efficiency providers or software programs. Managed legal services involves a ton of contract management.

Also noteworthy in this article is a theme I've seen elsewhere: The Big 4 accounting firms are more of a direct competitive threat to ALSPs and law companies than they are to law firms.

$8.7 billion in turnover from ALSPs last year but that’s growing at rate of 24-25% YOY. Law firms have to decide how to respond to that-they can try to stick to only things lawyers can & traditionally do but James Jones warns that’s a verrry small part of the market. #LEIC218
