My Practice: I can?t believe how lucky I am. At VLP we?ve managed to have the best of both worlds. You know that in any big organization, you?ll have a mix: a small percentage of stars, a large mass of solid performers, and a percentage who maybe should be in a different line of work. We?ve cherry-picked the stars from elite law firms, but haven?t taken on the staggering big firmoverhead. The result is I get to work with only the best, and our sane operating cost allowsboth you and us to do well financially. Our clients couldn?t be happier, and neither could I.
