transfer of legal knowledge (Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998).
Many law firms represent large corporate enterprises, organizations,
or entrepreneurs with a need for continuous
and specialized legal services that can only be supplied by
a team of lawyers. The client is a customer of the firm,
rather than just the customer of a particular lawyer. According
to Galanter and Palay (1991), relationships with
clients tend to be enduring. Such repeat clients are able to
gain benefits from the continuity and economies of scale
and scope enjoyed by the firm.
