Statistical Evidence On The Gender Gap In Law Firm Partner Compensation, Marina Angel, Eun Young Whang, Rajiv Banker, Joseph F. Lopez
Statistical Evidence On The Gender Gap In Law Firm Partner Compensation, Marina Angel, Eun Young Whang, Rajiv Banker, Joseph F. Lopez
Marina Angel
Our study compiled the largest research sample on the gender gap in compensation at the 200 largest law firms by combining two large databases to examine why women partners are compensated less: because they are less productive than men partners or because they are women. The AmLaw 100 and 200 studies include gross revenue, profits, number of equity and non-equity partners, and the total number of lawyers at each firm. The Vault/MCCA Law Firm Diversity Programs study (Vault/MCCA) includes the gender ratios at each AmLaw 200 firm. Our study covers the years 2002 to 2007.
The ratio of women equity …
Big But Brittle: Economic Perspectives On The Future Of The Law Firm In The New Economy, Bernard A. Burk, David Mcgowan
Big But Brittle: Economic Perspectives On The Future Of The Law Firm In The New Economy, Bernard A. Burk, David Mcgowan
Bernard A Burk
This Article addresses the deceptively simple questions why, up to the onset of the recent recession, law firms continued to grow at the rapid rate and in the unusual configuration that they have exhibited for over 40 years; and whether lawyers, clients, law students and law schools should expect familiar trends to reassert themselves as the economy improves. We show that the copious academic theorizing addressing these questions (focusing on such notions as diversification, asset specificity, “tournament” theory, and reputational and agency-cost concerns at the level of the firm as a whole) has proved ineffective at explaining or predicting actual …

The Death Of Big Law, Larry E. Ribstein
The Death Of Big Law, Larry E. Ribstein
Larry E. Ribstein
Large law firms face unprecedented stress. Many have dissolved, gone bankrupt or significantly downsized in recent years. This paper provides an economic analysis of the forces driving the downsizing of Big Law. It shows that this downsizing reflects a basically precarious business model rather than just a shrinking economy. Because large law firms do not own durable, firm-specific property, a set of strict conditions must exist to bind the firm together. Several pressures have pushed the unraveling of these conditions, including increased global competition and the rise of in-house counsel. The large law firm’s business model therefore requires fundamental restructuring. …
Delaware For Small Fry: Jurisdictional Competition For Limited Liability Companies, Larry E. Ribstein
Delaware For Small Fry: Jurisdictional Competition For Limited Liability Companies, Larry E. Ribstein
Larry E. Ribstein
Most of the work on jurisdictional competition for business associations has focused on publicly held corporations and the factors underlying Delaware’s dominance in attracting formations of large out-of-state corporations. We examine an analogous jurisdictional competition to attract formations by closely held limited liability companies (LLCs). The LLC offered the first attractive business form for closely held limited liability firms unconstrained by the legacy of corporate default rules. State legislatures have adopted and changed LLC statutes rapidly over the past 20 years. Unlike general and limited partnerships, which have been shaped by uniform laws, LLC statutes vary significantly. These circumstances offer …

Strategic Contracting: Contract Law As A Source Of Competitive Advantage, Larry Dimatteo
Strategic Contracting: Contract Law As A Source Of Competitive Advantage, Larry Dimatteo
Larry A DiMatteo
This paper uses sources taken from the legal literature, as well as literature from strategy and human resource management. It explores Professor Gilson’s noted remark in the Yale Law Journal that “business lawyers serve as transaction cost engineers and this function has the potential for creating value.” This exploration focuses on the strategic use of contract law in gaining a competitive advantage and to create value. It begins by differentiating two frames of the contract paradigm. One is the internal frame in which contract law’s inherent flexibility allows for its use as a source of competitive advantage. The second frame …
