Law Office Management Pinnacle: Nonlawyer CEO!

I am hoping that Pepper Hamilton’s decision to hire a nonlawyer CEO (details are here: Legal Intelligencer) is the start of a trend.

Just as I get annoyed with the “everyone’s a writer” mantra exhibited by freelance wannabes, the “any lawyer can run a business” refrain is even more irksome—and dangerous.  It’s heartening that at least one law firm recognizes that nonlegal expertise is valuable.
