Associates Survey 2008

Smaller firms often outscore larger ones on our annual survey of midlevel job satisfaction. It may be because a more intimate atmosphere breeds happiness. Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey. In the second category are Am Law Second Hundred firms?numbers 101-200 on the most recent Am Law 200 survey (July.) In the final category are firms that appear on our most recent Am Law 100 (May) or Global 100 (October 2007) survey. For a full methodology, click here.

If you meet someone who does "PI" work at a law firm, don't assume the "PI" stands for "personal injury." Bickel & Brewer, a 35-lawyer firm that handles securities and large commercial suits, hired its own in-house investigators -- and it's not the first firm to do so. Bickel partner William Brewer III says the four-member investigative unit saves the firm money and does a better job than outside investigators who wouldn't be as familiar with the material or apt to work as closely with the litigators.

Bingham Partner Admits to Altering Document at Heart of McCourt Divorce

More than just the future ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers is at stake in the extraordinarily nasty divorce of Frank and Jamie McCourt: The reputation of a respected partner at an Am Law 100 firm is on the line, too. The couple's former lawyer, Bingham McCutchen partner Lawrence Silverstein, has come under heavy fire over allegations that he "fraudulently altered" the 2004 marital property agreement at the center of the dispute.
