The commodity legal industry is dominated by large law firms that cater to established industry participants.  For a start-up business or a cost conscious company, retaining one of these law firms may not make financial sense.  Even if you decide to retain one of these large firms, often times your matter will be assigned to a junior associate who is “learning on the job” at your expense.  The result may be a project that takes longer than it should and costs more than you want to pay.
