ALM Research Online in the London Times
Headline: American gigolos; In the city; City law
Given that transatlantic dating between law firms seems to be all the rage, I would recommend ALM Research Online, a service started last week that provides everything you could possible want to know about that potential new firm in your life. Survey results and rankings are all available so you can check out the truth behind the seductive claims made by those American gigolos. For more information go to www.almresearchonline.com.
The alternative, of course, is speed-dating events in which US and British managing partners get together for a series of two- minute encounters to assess whether the personal chemistry is right. It would certainly save a lot on consultancy fees - and who's to say the results wouldn't be better?
