Legal Consultant Criticizes ACC’s Law Firm Rating Index
An Association of Corporate Counsel law firm rating system unveiled last month has triggered a lot of interest from the association's in-house lawyer members, who have submitted 1,500 reviews. But law firms have been crying foul on several fronts, foremost because the comments are anonymous and could cloak lawyers with axes to grind, such as disgruntled former law firm associates. That's according to the Zeughauser Group, the legal consultancy, which declared that the ratings were "cause for concern."
