We are fond of this firm, who, through large scale mergers, have become a network of integrated offices that can handle clients in any major city. Although that growth has not yet translated into the full scale Fortune 500 multinational clientele, this law firm is content to be the well-priced big firm alternative. With a quirky and youthful approach to the law and firm management, this firm is not as concerned with the bottom line as it is being a novel law firm in which to work. With practice areas that run from international trade to individual tax, there are plenty of opportunities for like-minded attorneys.
