An Above the Law post spotlights a law firm that decided the whole world was its market. That idea was striking at a time when most law firms did not venture past their home cities.
The firm's global outlook represented a significant departure from the norm. The post presents the decision as a bold and unusual move, though it does not provide extensive detail about the firm itself or its strategy.
The contrast between the firm's ambition and the prevailing local focus underscores how unusual the decision was. It also suggests how much the legal market has evolved since then, where global reach is now more common.
