Managers cope with challenges
Article Abstract:
The recession and law firm downsizing have affected law firm administrators in different ways. Most have had to cut costs by delegating work to the lowest level at which it can be handled. Their tasks vary considerably and include building management, coordinating office automation and personnel management. Eight administrators were interviewed on effects of the recession, evolution of the role of administrator, challenges and concerns.

The 15th survey boasts a leaner, meaner field
Article Abstract:
Laws firms in 1992 continued a trend toward downsizing, with half the 250 largest firms employing fewer attorneys than the year before. Most of the cuts came at the associate level; 64% of firms decreased the number of associates, but the number of partners increased at 66% of firms. Baker & MacKenzie has again topped the list as it has throughout the survey's 15 years.
