Someone should remind law firm leaders that the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination isnt just for clients. It can work for them, too. The latest Altman-Weil survey of law firm leaders shows that many apparently don’t realize it. The survey responses prove widespread management incompetence, stupidity, and worse.
The survey went to the chairs or managing partners of 791 firms with 50 or more lawyers. Firms with more than 250 lawyers responded to the survey at a much higher rate (42 percent) than smaller firms (26 percent). In other words, the survey results largely reflect big-law attitudes.
