@sama There are so many ways to hack the traditional legal spend. Plenty of ways to control the $$ burn while getting the right protection.

.@sama re oppty to disrupt: yes, it's there. Check out recent @ReInventLaw, @HLS_PLP programs. Also legal hacking groups like @legaltechSEA.

@sama By 'pad', do you mean add time that wasn't actually worked? Or just that they are inefficient and expensive?
Replying to @sama
@sama Much worse outside the valley.

@sama and yet there's a bazillion unemployed law students. step 1: start law firm in valley with recent grads, step 2: prosper?
Replying to @sama
@sama What's the best way to guard against this?

@sama Check out @LawPalHQ @UpCounsel @outsideGC for alternatives. @simple_legal shows you where you're overspending.
