Embracing the Product Imperative: Why and How Law Firms Should Consider the “Product” Approach
<p class="p1">How often do we hear commands like “innovate or die” outside of the legal industry?  <p class="p2">Product companies and even other professional services firms are asked – perhaps even required – to “innovate,” largely in deference to the healthy paranoia they recognize drives all great businesses to higher levels of success. The legal industry, however, is in the very early stages of experimenting with innovation. Professional services firms in general hate to invest ahead of revenue as compared with their product company brethren. And to the extent that real innovation necessitates what are viewed to be distracting allocations of capital, law firms have been loath to do much of it.

Taking Back Your Old Age Security
Many Canadian taxpayers spend most of their lives working hard to accumulate sufficient savings to permit them to live a comfortable lifestyle during their retirement years. At age 65, when they can start benefitting from Canada’s social programs, they often find themselves with an effective marginal tax rate of 50% on their taxable income. When combined with the Old Age Security (OAS) recovery tax, rates can reach 55%.
