Virtual Service Firm: A New Way of Working - 3/4

The Virtual Service Firm: A New Way of Working

The Yale Club of Silicon Valley brings you a talk with Craig Johnson '68.

Event Date: Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 at 6:30pm

Craig Johnson '68

The Virtual Service Firm (VSF)

A New Way of Working

Recent improvements in high speed Internet connectivity; the availability of low cost enterprise software tools; seemingly never ending increases in the billable rates and overhead of conventional professional service firms; and widespread dissatisfaction with the pressures and lack of work/life balance inside these firms have led to the emergence of a new kind of business – the virtual service firm (VSF). VSFs allow professionals in law, accounting, recruiting, product design, investment and other fields the flexibility to work from home, set their own hours and rates, work in teams, live where they want to live, work less, charge much lower billable rates, be less of a burden on the environment and still earn more money than they could at conventional firms.

Craig Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Virtual Law Partners LLP, will discuss this emerging trend and the reasons the VSF model benefits both professionals and clients. Prior to founding VLP, Craig was the Chairman and co-founder of Venture Law Group and before that was a senior partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Craig has been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of the 100 most influential attorneys in America and by Forbes Magazine as one of the country's top private company investors ("Midas List").
