Business Outlook
Pros
The lawyers treat staff as respected and competent partners in the business. Functions such as Marketing, Communication, Information Technology, etc. attract talented people. The firm, and firm leadership, truly does have its heart in the right place. Diversity and work/life balance are important to the firm. Until the current economic crunch hit, the firm supported professional development at a significant level - hopefully that will happen again in the future.
Cons
Leadership cares more about appearance then substance. Comparisons to peer firms in publications like Am Law are more important that the actual profitability of each office or practice group. The accomplishments of non-lawyers are undervalued.
