Client Attrition: More Tools to Stem the Trickle of Lost Work
One of the best ways to hone a firm's business strategy is to dig deeper into the assumptions relied upon to devise that firm's business strategy. At the Redwood Think Tank, we reported not too long ago that law firms, on average, lose work from existing clients at the rate of 1% per month. See 'Client Attrition Analytics: Firms Can Control Whether Clients Stay or Go,' Accounting and Financial Planning for Law Firms, January 2007. We based our estimate on a study of four firms that experienced remarkably similar rates of attrition.
Since then, we were asked whether our estimate would hold up if we studied a larger number of firms. We also wondered whether some firms experience lower rates of attrition, and if so, why.
So we set out to do a follow-up study, and pulled data from 23 random Redwood Analytics clients that participate in the Redwood Benchmarking Program. We cataloged the clients that had provided work in 2005, and evaluated the attrition associated with those clients on a monthly basis through December 2007.

Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
The Anti-Assignment Override Provisions
UCC Sections 9406(d) and 9408(a) are one of the most powerful, yet least understood, sections of the Uniform Commercial Code. On their face, they appear to override anti-assignment provisions in agreements that would limit the grant of a security interest. But do these sections really work?
