Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
There’s
more
warning
signs
popping
up,
even
on
the
strategic
side.
Virtually
every
managing
partner
I
know
[is]
more
careful
about
predicting
how
well
their
firm
is
going
to
do
this
year.
—
Blane
Prescott,
law
firm
management
consultant
at
MesaFive, in
comments
given
to
the
American
Lawyer,
concerning
deal
work
inventory
this
year,
and
the
lack
thereof
for
certain
firms.
Compared
to
this
time
last
year,
some
law
firms
are
“suddenly
see
their
workloads
getting
a
little
lighter,”
he
said,
“and
that’s
started
to
make
them
nervous.”
