Has anyone else got that email or any confirmation from Mishcon post VI?
This type of post is not constructive and is purposely trying to rile people up. It is also has a dismissive tone, something others have picked up on.
I'd say US firms tend to be focused on transactional work rather than full-service and so may be particularly vulnerable to the down turn in the M&A/finance markets. They might not have other practices that pick up the slack (albeit less profitable ones). Depends on the firm though, there are full-service ones.Morning everyone
Would anyone help me with this question: "What challenges are US law firms facing?". I am preparing for my interview and was wondering what aspects should I include.
Yea, as legalregal pointed out, it does depend on the firm. Some US firms are facing transactional pressure (economic downturns, etc.) while others are facing increased pressure from governmental agencies (think like white collar crime firms who are currently dealing with hyper-aggressive governmental regulators). Then you have your conventional, but important issues, such as the issue of cybersecurity -- US firms due to their clients and influence -- makes them key targets to attack. There is also a poaching war amplified amongst key US law firms as they battle against each other to take specialists in certain fields. Tech infrastructure is also quite a common issue - some US law firms are quite lacking in this sector.Morning everyone
