Jerry Miller was recently quoted in a Law360 article entitled “Ethics Barriers Could Protect BigLaw from Big 4 Competition.” The article discussed recent promises of aggressive expansion into legal marketing by the Big Four accounting firms.
Miller was quoted as saying “The issue of big accounting firms competing with BigLaw for legal work has been percolating for years, but now there’s a groundswell,” said Miller. “It’s the commoditization of the legal practice, and it’s likely that you’ll see non-lawyer fee sharing rules take hold in the U.S., just as they have in Europe, Africa and other [areas].”
