Critical Competitiveness [Washington DC]
In today’s world the networks have access to vast resources
that can be deployed at little cost to achieve extraordinary
results. These resources need to be understood.
Ultimately if a network is going to achieve its objectives,
there is actually a small amount of risk versus the rewards
for their members and their clients. There is no ceiling on
opportunities

Competitive Opportunities for Law Firm Networks
[London UK]
Some say networks and their members are at a crossroads.
While there was a rush to form networks in the early 1990s,
the revolution lead to a long process of evolution as network
members grew to represent 20% of the legal market
annually billing $120 billion. As a Georgetown Law Professor,
Mark Cohen, a professor commented law networks evolved
into unrecognized “quiet giants”.
