Chicago Attorneys
From "Diamonds Are This Firm's Best Friend", in The American Lawyer.
"Bartlit and his acolytes are promising a revolution ... Nonhourly fees and bonuses for success give the lawyers incentives to be efficient. That way clients pay a lot only if they're happy with the results. Technology means the lawyers can be efficient and try cases with only two or three lawyers. And with clients paying for results rather than hours, the firm's structure will resemble a "diamond": a few senior partners at the top assisted by a larger band of experienced trial lawyers, and supported in turn by a small team of junior associates being trained."
