Legal Influencer Series: A Conversation with William Henderson

Leveraging Latitude: Cultivating a Full Life in the Law

The Legal Influencers series continues as Tim Haley sits down for a conversation with William Henderson, professor and Stephen F. Burns Chair on the Legal Profession at Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

William is the founder and principal editor of Legal Evolution, an online publication that blends theory, data, and detailed examples of successful legal industry innovation. This publication is a dynamic hub of research spanning a range of topics, including the business of law, leadership in the law, and the economics shaping the legal profession.
William sheds light on several fascinating aspects of his work, including:

• The pressing business challenges faced by the legal industry today, from providing corporate clients with cost-effective legal services to ensuring access to representation for individuals;
• How Legal Evolution began and how applied research and meaningful dialogue can address issues within the legal space;
• William’s own law career story, which began after he realized his passion for negotiating contracts in his role as a firefighter paramedic union representative; and
• A sneak peek at his upcoming book which presents case studies of law firms as modern business organizations.

We dedicate this episode to the memory of Sergio Agustín Castillo Hernández, our talented producer who passed away unexpectedly over the summer. Sergio’s invaluable contributions to our podcast remain etched in Leveraging Latitude’s journey, and his enduring enthusiasm and consummate professionalism continue to inspire us.
