- Since economist Milton Friedman’s 1970 doctrine “the social responsibility of business is to increase profits,” businesses have been driven by the bottom line, and the legal profession is no exception. Yet, in recent years, business leaders and lawyers alike have begun to see a structural pivot in the nature and purpose of business.
In his talk, Harvard Law Professor David B. Wilkins reexamined business and law through the lens of delivering value to consumers of legal services in today’s society. If we go beyond market dollars, Wilkins outlined, our industry can find its professional roots in being wise counselors and effective leaders who address complex problems with a multidisciplinary perspective.
Wilkins led us in an engaging talk and interactive town hall discussion exploring where value might be defined, revealed, and delivered in law, policy, and even morality, and examining who these new clients are and what value means to them.
