Lawyers keep jobs after merger; brokers and underwriters have different legal needs
Article Abstract:
Mergers of securities industry firms, which have proliferated in the late 1990s, give firms the capital to expand globally and enable them to diversify what they can do. Deals between Travelers Insurance and Dean Witter Reynolds and those between Salomon Inc and Morgan Stanley and Co are examples. Such deals also create economies of scale and of scope. Positions for corporate counsel are lost through such economies but this is only temporary as more work for this specialty is also created.

How should companies pick firms? Not all legal departments are using size as a criterion
Article Abstract:
Rees W. Morrison finds in his book 'Law, Metrics, and Management' that small corporate law departments hire as many large law firms as outside counsel as large departments hire small firms. Morrison urges that this result is significant for small firms which gave up on being hired by Fortune 500 companies under the Dupont model and could influence future marketing decisions.
