Innovative Lawyers an Oxymoron?

The standing joke is that when one presents a new idea to a businessperson, their first question is, “I hope no one else is doing this!”, whereas when you present the same idea to a lawyer, the question is, “But who else is doing this?”  Or, as I heard it expressed slightly differently just this week—and trust me, you cannot make this stuff up—when a particular managing partner was criticized because his firm wasn’t terribly innovative, he replied, “It would be useful to have guidance from other firms on their efforts at innovation.”  (I promised you you can’t make this up.)
