The Big Four vs Traditional Law

[bronson]

Stumbled across this piece about how the Big Four are making an impressive push into the legal market. It also provides some useful comments by some law firm leaders about how law firms differentiate themselves from the Big Four. Could be useful things to bring up in an interview if the right question arose: https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/...rXgaGjAgkqs4bBPaTu8pgInFy7bjat-DbEg1FJs3xEsIs

Another good article by Keep Calm Talk Law about this topic. http://www.keepcalmtalklaw.co.uk/rise-of-the-accountants-an-existential-threat-to-law-firms/

FYI this blog also does some useful legal analyses of current topics if you want to get a more legally detailed insight than your standard news articles

I don't think Legal Cheek has a paywall!

The American Lawyer one in the original post seemed to be behind a paywall when I checked. A summary of that would be useful!
