BIG FOUR BUTTING IN - Just how worried should global law firms be about The Big Four accounting firms’ push into the legal market? Reporter Dan Packel breaks it down with ALM Legal Intelligence Analyst Nicholas Bruch in this week’s Legal Speak podcast. One major advantage the Big Four enjoy over many law firms is global brand recognition. While the Big Four have traditionally offered advice on tax matters, they’re now helping clients navigate regulatory issues and labor and employment matters. They’re even taking on some corporate and M&A work, as well as dipping their toes into legal tech ventures. The takeaway? Ignore the Big Four at your own peril.
