Read MoreI am seeing more and more quality lawyers opting to work for the Big Four affiliated law firms rather than the traditional leading law firms (“Big Law”).

Read MoreDear Lawyer: Please take a few seconds to review your law firm’s marketing materials for an explanation of what your firm is selling.
I bet that your firm is selling “solutions”. How do I know? Because that’s what ALL lawyers do (as well as consultants and nowadays pretty much everyone else in the service industry). And, that’s the problem.
