Advice to law firm management:
We should expand practice areas and geographical reach. And build on our core strengths. We could use more corporate transactional people

Pros:
Now settled into our new DC office space, I feel the collegiality of our firm even stronger. Our shareholders really reach out and work with others and make all feel at home. At the same time, there is a very high level of professionalism and ethics; people take pride in their work product and service to clients.

Cons:
Maybe some annoying firm bureaucracy , but that's offset by the superb firm management, and excellent staff who help us through it. Same with IT department.
