In his book entitled Tomorrow's Lawyers, Richard Susskind states: “The legal world of tomorrow, as it has been envisioned and described here, has little resemblance to the world of the past. I claim that legal institutions and lawyers are at a crossroads and are ready to change radically in the next two decades than it has been taken place in the last two centuries."

Susskind sees three main forces driving the change in the way legal services are delivered. The first one as he finds as a challenge is "more for less" As the name suggests itself, this guideline covers clients asking lawyers to provide more services for less money. One simple example of this principle is found in large clients area where demands that their in-house advisor reduces costs - at the same time there is increasing amount of work related to compliance, due diligence and legal protection of the client, minimizing its risk due to close cooperation and knowledge of the client's enterprises specificity .
