To the Legal:
Upon returning from vacation and catching up on my reading, a front page article in a recent edition of The Legal Intelligencer caught my eye. “Years Show Dramatic Changes to Pa. Midsized Firm Landscape,” which appeared Aug. 11, compared PaLaw magazine’s 1994 and 2007 lists of the commonwealth’s largest firms. The article noted that over that period, many firms merged, downsized or went out of existence. It implied that size, not management or other factors, had resulted in the demise of some firms or the search for merger partners or suitors. The article included comments suggesting that midsized firms will be rendered “irrelevant” and “smaller firms and bigger firms are the future.” As a partner in a midsized (43 attorneys) firm that I joined 31 years ago, this article held more than a passing interest.
