Michael Feit, J.D., President & Founder
Michael founded Feit Consulting over 18 years ago. Previously with Westlaw for over 10 years, his last position in Large Law Strategy, Michael fully understands the demands of vendors and the needs of clients. Michael founded Feit Consulting to help firms develop a strategy for controlling legal information costs effectively. Over time his focus has expanded to include a holistic library operation review.
With Feit Consulting’s recent entry into Contemporary Library Solutions Feit has truly emerged as a thought leader in all aspects of managing legal information. Contemporary Library Solutions helps firms improve their return on their legal information investment by comparing and contrasting the firm’s existing library with other best-practices in the market. Michael has written several books and whitepapers on legal information and frequently shares his thoughts through his blog.
