Trisha M Rich

And if you don't know what that is, you probably should, because I believe MSOs are becoming one of the most important forces reshaping the legal industry and profession.

So I'm pleased to welcome to the podcast one of the nation's leading experts on MSOs, Trisha Rich, a partner at Holland & Knight.

A nationally recognized authority on legal ethics and professional responsibility, Trish has built a thriving practice advising law firms and investors on MSO transactions.

In our conversation, we explain how MSOs work, why they've suddenly become so popular, and what their rise might mean for the future of the legal profession.

Without further ado, here's my conversation with Trisha Rich.

Trish, thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you so much for having me, David.

I sat down with two lawyers from Holland & Knight, which has quietly become the epicenter of MSO or managed service organization deals with over a hundred law firm MSO transactions closed or in progress.

Trisha Rich is a partner and legal ethicist, co-chair of the firm's legal profession team, and was recently named one of the four finalists for the American Lawyer Attorney of the Year.

So she sits right at the intersection of the profession's rules and the deals that are reshaping it.
