Key research themes

1. How does the integration of professional and managerial logics reshape law firm work organization and lawyer roles?

This research theme focuses on the evolving interplay between traditional legal professionalism and managerial approaches within law firms.

2. How do knowledge transfer and use impact law firm performance in emerging legal markets?
