Law.com - For Am Law 100 Firms, the Sky's the Limit
This article, based mainly on work done by Prof. Sherer of the University of Calgary, is a very interesting prediction of what the future of the largest law firms will look like in seven and seventeen years from now. As Yogi Berra is supposed to have said, "Predicting is very difficult, particularly when it is about the future," the article is no different and admits as much when it discusses the pit falls that could render its predictions inaccurate. In any case, Prof. Sherer's view of the future is quite astounding is some cases. One clear trend that does not seem disputable is the increased globalization of the largest, most successful law firms.
