At the time we published last year’s ZGuide, we noted that the legal industry was rebounding nicely from the softening in the economy that began in the second half of 2007 and continued through 2009. But for most firms, 2011 did not fulfill the promise of robust growth akin to that of the golden era that preceded the downturn. Relatively flat demand and the ever-growing chasm separating the most successful firms from the rest of the pack created unprecedented challenges, not only to lead and manage better, but also to do so prudently. Midway through 2012, caution has become the byword of the year, underscored by the collapse of the iconic Dewey & LeBoeuf law firm, which followed on the heels of Howrey, Thelen, Heller, and Brobeck over a few short years, each a wake-up call for change. Looking ahead to 2013, we believe that market leadership will become a still stronger imperative not just for success, but for sustainability. Relentless focus on being at the top is the only prescription for survival in what has become a crucible of change for the legal industry. As we noted last year, the ability to surpass the expectations of evermore sophisticated clients and successfully confront the • ZGuide • unyielding pressure to maintain high levels of profitability will separate the winners from the losers. Table of Contents Despite unprecedented challenges, we remain optimistic about the future for strong law firms, and flattered by those firms that have chosen us to counsel them in seizing opportunities to lead. And, as we have for each of the past ten years, we want to take this opportunity to thank our clients and the more than fifty Am Law 200 firms that participate in our Chair, CMO, and COO Roundtables for Methodology their interest in our work.

  • ?Mckenna Long?????Dentons??????
    ?McKenna Long?????Dentons?????? Consolidation at the top of the global legal industry is showing no signs of stopping with the confirmation that Dentons, fresh off its last big international tie-up, wants to again walk down the aisle — this time with U.S.-bound McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP. Denton's potential addition of the Atlanta-based, 575-lawyer McKenna Long would add a significant new branch to Dentons' growing international structure, which now includes about 2,500 lawyers in 50 countries. If completed, the merger would bring Dentons to a top-three spot in the industry by size, with about 3,100 lawyers. In McKenna Long, Dentons would acquire a well-regarded but somewhat undifferentiated general services firm with solid roots in government contracts, established offices in a handful of major U.S. markets, a network of Washington contacts and no significant international profile. Among its more notable offerings is the firm's intellectual property and technology practice led by D.C.- and Seoul-based partner Song Jung, which has done considerable work for Korean tech giant LG Corp., among others. The addition of McKenna Long "adds to [Dentons'] capacities in D.C. and Los Angeles and San Francisco,” said firm management consultant Eric Seeger, a principal at legal consultant firm Altman Weil Inc. "They already had Chicago, and it gives them a large Atlanta office." For the McKenna Long partners now considering the deal, joining Dentons would immediately vault them from an increasingly squeezed U.S. middle tier into a global network with a slew of multinational clients, but one that is likely still experiencing growing pains from repeated cross-border mergers, experts say.

  • The Changed Economy of Legal Knowledge: Response Through a Radical Change to the Legal Trainee Career Path
    The changed economy of legal knowledge: response through a radical change to the legal trainee career path Dr. Nigel Spencer,1 Dr. Katie Best,2 and Des Woods3 Abstract This paper uses a case study to explore how two changes in circumstances within the UK legal services sector led to innovations in career structure, organisational design and the distribution of knowledge within one particular City of London law firm. These two changes were: (1) changes in client demand for more commercial advisers; and (2) the financial crisis or Credit Crunch. The paper sets out the context for the innovation explaining the historic legal education system with its nearly exclusively technical legal curriculum. The authors then set out the need for change in knowledge distribution, based on external market demands, in order to produce more rounded, commercial and business-focused lawyers, and explain how the firm radically revised its career path to create a step-change in commercial knowledge and simultaneously changed the knowledge distribution in the firm. Background: the historic career model and legal services market which required ‘technical experts’ The legal sector’s work historically centred on delivering expert, technical knowledge-in-practice which its legal teams have gradually built up through their careers (Kritzer, 2002). Clients of leading City legal practices continued to value this technical knowledge, especially that of the senior members of the firm (the law firm Partners), and readily bought in the City firms to solve their legal problems, often in a relatively ‘transactional’ relationship whereby the law firm was hired to execute a particular legal instrument within a broader commercial context (Morgan, 2005).
