The Potential for Economic Growth
This regulatory change could contribute to economic growth within the state, as it may encourage the establishment of new firms and create jobs not just for lawyers but also for other professionals and support staff.

Innovative Business Models

Non-lawyers can now have financial interests in law firms or legal service operations. This could lead to the development of new business models that integrate legal services with other professional services, potentially offering more comprehensive solutions to clients.

Legal Tech Innovation There's now a possibility for increased investment in legal technology startups, as the rule change may attract investors who were previously wary of investing in the heavily regulated legal industry.
Attract Diverse Talent With the barrier removed, law firms may attract non-legal professionals who can contribute diverse perspectives and expertise.
Legal Services Businesses can invest in legal service providers, which could drive down costs through economies of scale or more efficient service delivery models.
Competitive Pressure The change might also place competitive pressure on other states to consider similar deregulation, potentially leading to a wave of legal industry innovation across the country.
