Law Firm Economics

Law Firm Economics , Wednesday March 10, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. in John Chipman Gray Room (Pound 213)

If you are interested in working at a law firm one day, it is imperative to understand that the practice of law is a business. This program will help you navigate the seemingly murky waters of the business of law firms as Trent Norris, head of Arnold & Porter’s San Francisco office, explains: the nuts and bolts of firm profitability (including the real deal about billable hours and profits-per-partner), how associates fit into the picture, and the meaning and effect of different partnership structures on an organization. A must-see for anyone contemplating private sector practice.  Lunch provided by Arnold & Porter.
