Description
Many law firms continue opening offices. Many law firms are members of formal networks and alliances. Many law firms – with varying degrees of organisation – claim to have their own ‘personal’ networks or alliances (including ‘best friends’).
What is the right answer and how do you work out what is the right answer for your law firm? Deciding upon office locations, networks and/or alliances is hard, but it is much harder making them work, both within your law firm but also within a network or alliance.
