Update on Sophistication

December 23, 2004 | Filed Under General 

I have to apologize.

A few days ago, I wondered whether large AmLaw 200 law firms were necessarily “sophisticated”.

Boy was I wrong:

Pepper

“Our firm has grown from a two-person law office formed in 1890 in Philadelphia to a sophisticated, large law firm with a national and international practice.”

Somewhere between 2 and 400 lawyers, you attain sophistication. I’m guessing 157.

- or -

Debevoise

“Debevoise & Plimpton LLP is an international law firm that provides a diverse range of sophisticated legal services to businesses and individuals.”

So sophisticated that they tell you how to pronounce their name.

Thanks, I thought it was more like this.
