Aligning capability and practice: Are your lawyers punching below their weight?

The twin recessions of the past decade have left many large law firms seriously misaligned in the quality of the work performed by their lawyers. Some firms’ lawyers are in over their heads, but many others are wading around in the shallow end. Edge International has developed a Capability Alignment tool that can help firms better match the right work to the right attorney.
