This two-part article defines the specific and best actions lawyers and law firms can take to expand client relationships. The first part, which described actions individual lawyers can take to expand client relationships, was published last month. This second part covers what law firms as institutions can do to help the firm's departments, practice groups, teams and lawyers expand client relationships.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes Image

“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.
