Jay Shepherd is on a mission to save the world from lawyers, and to save lawyers (and other professionals) from themselves. He runs the Boston employment-law boutique Shepherd Law Group, which made headlines when it abandoned the billable hour and timesheets in 2006. As an employment litigator, he has been protecting employers in and out of court for the past 17 years. He specializes in noncompetes, trade secrets, and social-media law.
Jay also founded Prefix, LLC, a consulting firm dedicated to pricing professional knowledge. Prefix helps professionals like lawyers, accountants, and consultants value and price their services, and helps clients get more value from their professionals.
Jay is a prolific blogger. He writes the workplace blog ”Gruntled Employees,” which Human Resource Executive magazine called the best HR-law site. The American Bar Association named his other blog, ”The Client Revolution,” to its Blawg 100 list of the top lawyer blogs. “The Client Revolution” focuses on reinventing the business of law. Jay is also a columnist for ”Above the Law,” America’s leading law blog. Law and Politics magazine named Jay one of the top 100 lawyers in New England.
He lives outside of Boston with his wife (also an employment lawyer) and two young daughters (not employment lawyers).
