In the April 2012 print edition of Corporate Counsel, we published an article by Dana Olsen titled Bye-Bye Big Firm, which examined the current trend of legal departments moving away from always hiring large firms and toward smaller ones. Move over, Big Law. Small Law is in, Osen writes. And the trend has proven to be more than a temporary reaction to the 2008 financial meltdown. Four years later, corporate lawyers are flocking to small firms.
The story seems to have touched a nerve, and a lot of readers have shown an interest in the topic. Now that weve had our say on the big-to-small shift, wed like to hear from you.
Please visit the comments section below and tell us:
