Download or read book Entrepreneurial Litigation written by John C. Coffee Jr. and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniquely in the United States, lawyers litigate large cases on behalf of many claimants who could not afford to sue individually. In these class actions, attorneys act typically as risk-taking entrepreneurs, effectively hiring the client rather than acting as the client’s agent. Lawyer-financed, lawyer-controlled, and lawyer-settled, such entrepreneurial litigation invites lawyers to sometimes act more in their own interest than in the interest of their clients. And because class litigation aggregates many claims, defendants object that its massive scale amounts to legalized extortion. Yet, without such devices as the class action and contingent fees, many meritorious claims would never be asserted. John Coffee examines the dilemmas surrounding entrepreneurial litigation in a variety of specific contexts, including derivative actions, securities class actions, merger litigation, and mass tort litigation. His concise history traces how practices developed since the early days of the Republic, exploded at the end of the twentieth century, and then waned as Supreme Court decisions and legislation sharply curtailed the reach of entrepreneurial litigation. In an evenhanded account, Coffee assesses both the strengths and weaknesses of entrepreneurial litigation and proposes a number of reforms to achieve a fairer balance. His goal is to save the class action, not discard it, and to make private enforcement of law more democratically accountable. Taking a global perspective, he also considers the feasibility of exporting a modified form of entrepreneurial litigation to other countries that are today seeking a mechanism for aggregate representation.

Download or read book The Entrepreneurial Lawyer written by Robert Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running a successful law practice means wearing two hats. Your clients are counting on you to be an expert in your area of law. At the same time, you have all the demands of running a small business - something many of us didn't fully anticipate when we graduated from law school. Our legal education gave us the foundation we needed to become excellent legal practitioners, but few of us have the training necessary to build a successful business. The result is that we work as hard as we can to do excellent legal work, and we wonder why that doesn't result in a growing, thriving legal enterprise. So, we spend more time at the office being the best lawyers we can be, until our family and personal lives suffer and we start to lose our passion for the law. The truth is, you can create a legal business that is not only growing but is highly profitable, and you can do it while taking time to enjoy life outside the office. The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys figured out how to do it more than two decades ago. Since then, we've helped hundreds of attorneys nationwide to transform their practices and their lives. Our secret is simple. Systems. Believe it or not, most law firms have very few intentional systems. They have no unique way of operating, no overall firm brand. Without systems, it is difficult for them to be consistent in the services they provide. Academy law firms are different. We have developed 11 Systems to support deep, lasting client relationships - many of them spanning multiple generations. Our Members have used these systems to transform their law firms into practices they love.
