A new law firm for a new world.
No one can afford any illusions—the COVID-19 pandemic is the game-changer of our lifetime. Across all industries, the only thing that anyone knows for certain is that “business as usual” is a thing of the past. As the aging models that have dominated the distribution of legal services for decades come under increasing scrutiny, the legal industry is facing a degree of turmoil that it hasn’t seen for generations. With our combined decades as partners in the largest and most prominent law firms in the country, Beeman & Muchmore believe that the legal industry is best served by embracing change rather than resisting it. Although the pandemic has brought an immediacy to grappling with the future, the transformation in our industry has been underway for some time.
It is no secret—businesses of all types and sizes are reimagining their legal services, handling an increasing range of needs in-house and—for the balance—seeking highly specialized counseling that can be delivered free of the inefficiencies that burden traditional full-service law firms. We believe these trends will usher our profession to new heights of accountability and effectiveness. Accordingly, we are proud to launch Beeman & Muchmore, LLP —a new law firm specially designed to meet the emerging needs and demands of the new world.
We have represented companies of all sizes, in all industries, handling all types of matters that go to the heart of essential business operations.
We have a turn-key proficiency handling software licensing and auditing disputes with Oracle Corporation and other prominent global software vendors.
Our experience in handling recurring licensing and auditing disputes has uniquely positioned us to extricate companies from their dispute while avoiding costly litigation.
Our unique practice model allows us to deliver our highly-specialized counseling free from an inefficient and costly infrastructure.

We are thrilled to share some recent favorable coverage by various publications in the legal industry who have taken notice of our new “GigLaw” model as it coincides with the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.
Companies should assume that software vendors will have a laser focus on aspects of noncompliance related to remote workplaces due to Covid-19. After struggling to win new business during the pandemic, software vendors will be on the lookout for ways to ‘exercise their audit rights’ and expand their revenue streams. Now is the time to prepare for inevitable software licensing audits.
After the retrospective in Part I of “The Road from BigLaw to GigLaw,” we now look into the future of our industry. Specifically, we consider the progressive delivery models that the consumers of legal services have worked for years to put in place and which we believe will be firmly entrenched in the post-Covid-19 economy.
Part I of The Road to GigLaw in 10 Steps covers the history of law firms and the market phenomenon that led to the creation of a GigLaw practice at Beeman & Muchmore, LLP.
Founded in 2020 by Arthur S. Beeman and Joel Muchmore, Beeman & Muchmore, LLP is a new law firm primarily dedicated to providing software licensing and auditing counseling to the new world.
