Abstract

A law firm is generally composed of lawyers, paralegals, managers, support personnel, and administrators. Most law firms use a partnership form of organization. In such a framework, lawyers who are highly effective in using and applying knowledge in fee earnings are eventually rewarded with partner status and thus own stakes in the firm. These diverse occupations have distinct functions, yet these individuals must work together to achieve the desired outcome of adding value to the firm. Lawyers represent their clients in legal matters by presenting evidence and legal arguments and provide counsel to clients concerning their legal rights and obligations.
