American Lawyer chief European correspondent Chris Johnson meets regularly with senior figures in the legal world at their favorite breakfast joints to chew over the industry’s tastiest talking points. Johnson’s guest this week is Adam Shutkever, COO of DLA Piper–backed fixed-fee legal services company Riverview Law. On the menu: alliances, alternative business structures for law firms, and one unanswered question.
