Leadership does not include overwhelming majority of attorneys and staff in SeyfarthLean marketing initiatives, which is strictly reserved for partners with largest books of business and their sycophants.
Closed compensation system creates rampant mistrust amongst partners, which trickles down to how associates and staff members are treated, which generally is badly.
Firm's leadership gives wildly inconsistent messaging as to how promotions and career advancement works. Have seen large outflow of talented income partners and senior associates in recent years. Firm's response is to hire more contract lawyers and junior attorneys to replace them.
Billing procedures are from the Stone Age. Clients would be shocked that a firm that pretends to be as innovative as Seyfarth claims to be would have such inefficiencies on their billing and accounting functions.
