Based on interviews with more than 250 partners in large firms, Mitt Regan and Lisa H. Rohrer suggest that the reality is much more complex. It is true that large firm hiring, promotion, compensation, and termination policies are more influenced by business considerations than ever before and that firms actively recruit profitable partners from other firms to replace those they regard as unproductive. At the same time, law firm partners continue to seek the non-financial rewards of being members of a distinct profession and are sensitive to whether their firms are committed to providing them.Chicago series in law and society.Chicago scholarship online.Law firmsUnited StatesPractice of lawUnited Statesbusiness of law.law firms.legal ethics.legal profession.legal services.professions.Law firmsPractice of law338.4/73400973Regan Milton C.Jr.,1952-1219065Rohrer Lisa H.StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554227303321BigLaw2819017UNINA
