A law firm is a business entity formed by one or more lawyers to engage in the practice of law. The primary service provided by a law firm is to advise clients (individuals or corporations) about their legal rights and responsibilities, and to represent their clients in civil or criminal cases, business transactions and other matters in which legal assistance is sought.

Arrangements

Law firms are organized in a variety of ways, depending on the jurisdiction in which the firm practices. Common arrangements include:

  • Sole proprietorship, in which the attorney is the law firm and is responsible for all profit, loss and liability;
  • General partnership, in which all of the attorneys in the firm equally share ownership and liability;
  • Professional corporations, which issue stock to the attorneys in a fashion similar to that of a business corporation;
  • Limited liability company, in which the attorney-owners are called "members" but are not directly liable to third party creditors of the law firm;
  • Professional association, which operates similarly to a professional corporation or a limited liability company;
  • Limited liability partnership (LLP), in which the attorney-owners are partners with one another, but no partner is liable to any creditor of the law firm nor is any partner liable for any negligence on the part of any other partner. The LLP is taxed as a partnership while enjoying the liability protection of a corporation.

Law firms????????????
Q. which is a better company to work for; Norton Rose or Latham and Watkins. Based on office space, prestige, location of office, people e.t.e. Both choices are for the london offices.
Asked by Henry S - Wed Dec 5 11:42:18 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I've never heard of Norton Rose, but I have heard of Latham & Watkins (it is a U.S. based law firm with international offices). According to the website of the respective law firms, Norton Rose doesn't have a presence in the U.S. It has "U.S. qualified lawyers based in London or Hong Kong." Latham & Watkins seems to have more offices in the world (including the U.S.) than Norton Rose. Unless you find someone who has worked for both firms, it will be hard to answer your question - plus it is subjective. Remember, big isn't always better - look what happened to Brobeck Phleger (it imploded after it got too big too fast).
