United States · New YorkFisherBroyles was founded in 2002 and says it was the first, and is among the largest, distributed law firms in the world. The firm reports that it was the first and only distributed law firm ranked by The American Lawyer as one of the 200 largest law firms by revenue. Its hundreds of partners practise in 32 global markets across the U.S., the UK, Asia and Latin America, and its listed locations include New York, London, Mexico City and Monterrey. The firm says its partners are veterans of preeminent law firms, corporate departments and government agencies.
The firm calls its distributed business model "Law Firm 2.0®" and says it relies on talent and technology instead of real estate, having been built to eliminate the inefficiencies and overhead of traditional firms. It uses formula-based compensation and nondiscretionary client credit rules and has no billable quotas. It also says that not having traditional office space reduces its environmental impact. Its practice groups are corporate, litigation, intellectual property, employment, executive compensation and benefits, private client services and tax. In Hong Kong, legal services are provided by an affiliated firm, Man & Tsang LLP.
