Jay, I enjoyed your post. I realized a lot of the initial proposals I make are unbundled, I just did not know it was called that. I think of myself as taking baby steps with my client relationship. In my small business practice, I like to propose a small flat fee for performing the seller's legal due diligence before drafting or negotiating any stock purchase agreements. I believe that starting small will give me the trust that the client is more likely to pay for larger projects, and that we have a good working relationship. On the flip side, unbundled services gives the client comfort with your legal counsel, value, and work product. Thank you for the helpful tips elsewhere in your blogosphere.Kellen

Thanks Jim! Please keep reading, and posting your thoughts on unbundled legal services. As an expat, you undoubtedly have a lot to bring to the conversation.As to the commenting function on the Kindle, I don't think there is one. A great device, but nothing's perfect.

As a New York admitted attorney living in Asia, I was thrilled to discover your blogs on Amazon. For the past few years I’ve been working as a freelance translator, but I’d like to get back into the law while remaining in Asia. Thus, I’d really like to hear your thoughts about areas of the law which might lend themselves to unbundled legal services. (Your blog on Kindle doesn’t seem to allow readers to comment – or is it me who simply doesn’t know how to use Kindle to make such a comment?)

Pam, it's in the works. Untethered Lawyer and my other blog, Legal Practice Pro, will both be available on the Kindle shortly unless there's a bump in the road.

Tim, thanks for the comment. Keep me posted on your thoughts and actions on unbundled legal services. Also, keep reading this blog as I begin to discuss the issue in greater depth. It's one of my strong interests, and I fully intend to keep discussing it.

Jay, I've been kicking around the idea of unbundling for awhile as a perfect complement to my freelance practice, which mostly involves research and writing for other attorneys. Unbundling strikes me as a way to get a little more client contact, but maintain (to a fair degree, at least) my casual, part-time stay-at-home dad approach to practice. Thanks for the post and for a nudge in that direction at a time when I'm thinking of what I can do to bring a little more variety and ingenuity to my practice.
