True that law firms offer very little in the way of snacks (although that is starting to change), but they offer other perks that can be far more expensive, a common one being free car service home if you work past 9. Most work till 7 or 8 anyway, and it provides a little incentive to stay another hour. I haven’t seen this in other industries.
- TAForObvReasons 8y agoInvestment banking does this as well, and they cover late meals.
- arethuza 8y agoMy cynicism about law firms makes me wonder if things like "free car service" can be charged back to clients.
- chrisseaton 8y agoWhy's that cynical? If the client's work is causing the need for the transport then isn't it appropriate to charge it to the client?
- arethuza 8y agoThe activity isn't cynical - my view of why law firms (particularly large law firms) do things is very cynical - based upon many unhappy experiences.
- smileysteve 8y agoI mean, in the end, the clients are paying for everything the firm does, right? Who is paying for snacks? Eventually, the clients (or the vc, who is hoping the clients will eventually pay for them).
