US Cities: Law Firm Office Geographies, 1998
Jonathan V. Beaverstock, Richard G. Smith and Peter J. Taylor
These data are derived from the now defunct web site entitled ‘Law Journal Extra’ describing the top 250 law firms in the US. Here only the 100 law firms with foreign offices are included. These firms are found in just 20 US cities and their offices are distributed across 72 foreign cities. Some analyses of these data can be found in Geographies of globalization: United States law firms in world cities (first published as GaWC Research Bulletin 4).
