Seyfarth: preparing for one to three years ahead

Mr Kubicki said that in recent decades the AmLaw200 had become enchained by an approach in which they think 'with this fiscal year in mind, narrowly focusing on inorganic pathways to growth such as lateral recruitment, acquisitions, and mergers'. He says that Seyfarth has differentiated itself by looking at issues long-term - adding that its clients are also very focused on the mid-term. He says: 'Our clients increasingly need us to see clearly and think creatively to prepare our own teams and their legal departments for a future that is just around the corner - a period of about one to three years out.' 

Client, rather than firm

He suggests in his post that Seyfarth will concentrate on 'the problems that matter most to our clients', rather than on those that matter most to the firm. Source: Seyfarth Shaw
