Smaller Law Firms as an Alterative to US and UK Mega Firms
Mega US and UK firms “…have sacrificed lawyer quality in the past 15 years by expanding like ill-considered hamburger franchises all over the globe."
The above is a quote from J. Daniel Hull. If you are a regular reader of Dan Hull’s blog, What About Clients, you know that the question isn’t “Where is Waldo?” In the legal community, it is "Where is Dan?” I am continually amazed when post after post comes from another spot on the globe. Dan practices international law. He appears to practice it on location with a globe-hopping voracity that astonishes.
A clue to his remarkable worldwide contact list appeared in the mail this week when I received a News Release from Dan’s firm, Hull McGuire PC. Hull McGuire is a member of the International Business Law Consortium (IBLC), a clearinghouse of more than 85 corporate law and accounting firms in strategic cities worldwide.
What really caught my attention about the news release was Dan’s observation about the preference among his corporate clients for midrange law firms. Dan’s complete observation was as follows:
Our clients, which are large and publicly traded, often prefer services by IBLC firms as an alternative to using the ultra-large US or UK-based firms which, in our view, have sacrificed lawyer quality in the past 15 years by expanding like ill-considered hamburger franchises all over the globe. The IBLC offers first-rate and aggressive business lawyers and litigators who choose to be in smaller firms (10 to 130 lawyers).
