Client Feedback
It should go without saying that client satisfaction is the single most important piece of data a firm can look at, but for many firms, getting client feedback is still viewed as the “third rail.” (That is the part of the train track that you don't want to touch, for those of you who do not live around a subway system.) There is a common belief that a client will let you know if he is unhappy with the firm's service, and that things are fine if the client is not complaining. Having interviewed over 150 clients of law firms, however, I can say with authority that nothing is further from the truth ' but I digress.
The critical point I want to make is that every touch point a client has with a firm can contribute meaningfully to client satisfaction ' or dissatisfaction. This is not just about getting a smile and a warm greeting from the receptionists, or about being treated politely by a lawyer's assistant. Those things are expected. This is about going to the next level for the receptionist and assistant; and it is about having everyone recognize that what they do matters a lot ' from the switchboard operator and IT team to the mail service and finance folks.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel
'Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel is a continuation of the discussion of client expectations and the disconnect that often occurs.
