What critics are saying

"Private equity-backed firms and traditional partnerships are growing organically at nearly the same pace, but everything behind that number, from reinvestment to pricing to how partners get paid, now looks different. Add in a workforce that's gone global and governance that's become standard practice, and you get a profession that's converging on one playbook while running it in very different ways."
