The Too Opulent Law Office
The experience of a client or prospective talent when visiting or contacting a firm is extraordinarily important. But the humorous Sean Carter is on target in pointing out that you can go “too far”. Read his post, Opulence Avoidance in the ABA Journal E-Report. Through humor Carter gives you a view of the opulent law office as it might be seen through the eyes of the law firm’s client.
Here is a little example:
"………as a former corporate client, I can envision what they will be thinking on their office tour:
Tour guide: I’d like to point your attention to the granite countertop at our reception desk. It was hand-carved in a Tibetan monastery over a 300-year period. It is estimated that 20,000 man-hours went into producing this one slab of granite.
Client (thinking): Wow! That’s 10,000 less hours than you billed on the Mauserwitz case. Who knew we could have bought a countertop instead?"
