Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 85-page study presents detailed data from a representative survey of 211 lawyers at major law firms in the United States, about their policies, practices and evaluation of working at home. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: what are the policies of major law firms regarding work from home? What percentage of total attorney billable hours and overall work hours are logged at home? How productive is work from home? How do colleagues view their peers who work from home frequently? How are law firm policies and practices evolving in this area? Do attorneys want to work from home more? How have libraries, information technology services and other law firm service centers adjusted to work from home? Who has work from home privileges and what are they? How do the opinions of associates differ from those of shareholders? Men from women? Older from younger attorneys? What future does work from home have for the nation s major law firms? Just a few of the study s many finding are that: By a margin of nearly 2 to 1, men felt that they were less productive when working at home. However, by a ratio of approximately 8:7 women felt that they were more productive when working from home. The larger the law firm in the sample, the greater the percentage of billable hours logged at home. 37.5% of lawyers in firms with between 25 and 49 lawyers say that they would like to work more at home even if at these firms work from home is viewed dimly by many of their colleagues. By slight margin more partners felt encouraging work from home would lead to a more profitable law firm than thought it would lead to a less profitable law firm; 29.45% for the former verses 23.97% for the latter."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tournament of Lawyers traces in detail the rise of one hundred of the nation's top firms in order to diagnose the health of the business of American law. Galanter and Palay demonstrate that much of the large firm's organizational success stems from its ability to blend the talents of experienced partners with those of energetic junior lawyers driven by a powerful incentive—the race to win "the promotion-to-partner tournament." This calmly reasoned study reveals, however, that the very causes of the spiraling growth of the large law firm may lead to its undoing. "Galanter and Palay pose questions and offer some answers which are certain to change the way big firm practice is regarded. To describe their work as challenging is something of an understatement: they at times delight, stimulate, frustrate and even depress the reader, but they never disappoint. Tournament of Lawyers is essential to the understanding of the business of the big law firms."—Jean and Colin Fergus, New York Law Journal

Book excerpt: The study presents data from 219 attorneys at major US law firms about how they feel about their profession, their jobs and their firms. The report helps its readers to answer questions such as: how happy are lawyers at their jobs? How many would once again become lawyers if they had to do it all over again? What would they have done differently whether or not they decided to become lawyers? How satisfied are they with their levels of compensation, their work-life balance, their workplace experience and their level of engagement in their work. What do they feel are the best aspects of their jobs? The worst aspects? What could their firms do to make their work experience better? Do they feel that they are better or worse off - overall - than professionals in banking and finance, medicine, engineering and higher education? The report is an ideal tool for law firm administrators and senior partners who want to find out what makes their lawyers happy. It is also invaluable for law students of those simply contemplating the study of law, as a guide to the experience of others. The data in the report is broken out for firm size, gender, age, work title and other variables. Just a few of the report's many findings are that: *73.52% said that they would choose to become a lawyer again if given a second chance.*Lawyers from firms with more than 200 lawyers ranked the happiness of their peers in the same firm the lowest, they rated the happiness of lawyers from other firms the highest.*Female lawyers are slightly less satisfied than male lawyers with their pension provisions but both men and women are relatively dissatisfied with their pension provision. *55.56% of lawyers over age 60 feel that individuals working in higher education are happier in their work than lawyers. An additional 18.06% think professionals in higher education are much happier than lawyers.

Book excerpt: This study presents the results of a survey of shareholders at more than 70 major American law firms. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how happy are shareholders with the current methods of distributing compensation to shareholders? What percentage is distributed in the form of salaries? In bonuses? How many firms have reserve funds and what percentage of total revenues after overhead do these funds account for? How many firms use a secret ballot for compensation issues? What do partners feel should be changed about the current compensation system? How much does approval of the current system vary by gender, age, field of legal specialization, size of law firm and other factors? How do firms oversee compensation committees? What are the penalties for arrears in collections or tardy submission of time sheets? Just a few of the study s many findings are that: The younger the shareholder, the more likely they were to consider their law firm s partner compensation scheme to be opaque and subjective. Lawyers in real estate law were much more likely than other lawyers to consider their firm s partner compensation scheme to be clear and transparent. For the largest firms, those with more than 200 lawyers, 56.25% of partners fixed their percentage shares at the beginning of the year and only 10.42% determined them at the end of the year, a ratio of more than 5:1. For firms with from 25-49 lawyers this ratio was roughly 1:1."
