The Economics of Law Firms - Shearman & Sterling
Posted By Rob Millard - 0 Comments -
If there is one blog that any thoughtful observer of the economics of law firms needs to add to his aggregator, then it is Bruce MacEwen's ongoing discussion on that topic, Adam Smith Esq. I am delighted to have been able to hook up with Bruce for coffee twice in the last week or so as I passed through New York, once westwards and then again back eastwards. His philosophy on blogs, that they should be a channel for carefully formulated, useful commentary on matters of importance in one's topic, corresponds exactly with mine. You will never hear from either of us what we thought of a recent movie, the current sports or social happenings, or such trivia.
One of Bruce's most recent postings on the new chairman at Shearman & Sterling, and what that great firm might do to boost its profitability, is a case in point. As is his posting How Do You Know If The Troops Got The Memo, which deals with another important emerging aspect of professional service firm strategy, namely social network analysis.
