"Profit and the Practice of Law – What’s happened to the
Legal Profession" has emerged as the definitive work on
growth and change in the major business practice law firms
in America between 1960 and 1995. It explains why and how
America’s major firms were transformed, and how the
transformation has affected the lawyers in those firms,
their clients, and the lawyers working in-house for such
clients. The changes that occurred in the United States have
also occurred in other countries around the world as widely
diverse as the United Kingdom and Taiwan. The book has been
widely praised by prominent lawyers, bar association
leaders, law firm consultants and legal scholars. It's also
readable by and entertaining to lay readers. The book
considers many of the problems with the delivery of legal
services faced by clients, corporate counsel, and private
practice lawyers and law firms and suggests solutions to
them. The problems that existed in the mid-1990s are still
with us today and some are even worse now than then. The
remedies suggested remain relevant. Young people
considering a career in the law as well as career counselors
and advisors will find valuable advice concerning the
prospects for a satisfying and profitable career as a lawyer
and the skills required to achieve success. New lawyers will
acquire insights into the obstacle courses they face and how
they can be traversed. Older lawyers will gain a better
understanding of the dynamics they need to master in order
to achieve success in their careers, and retired lawyers
will find a structure to support their analysis and
understanding of their own careers as practicing lawyers.
Corporate counsel will learn about the origins of corporate
law departments and the challenges they face. "Profit
and the Practice of Law" will also be of interest to
business executives interested in containing their legal
costs and anyone interested in the life of lawyers in the
major American firms or the role of the legal profession in
America’s business and economic life. Mr. Trotter's
new book, "Declining Prospects: How Extraordinary
Competition and Compensation Are Changing America’s Major
Law Firms," focuses on growth and change in the major
business practice law firms between 1995 and 2010 and will
be available soon at Amazon.com and bookstores.
