JONES DAY
We are a long-term institution. Unlike many firms, we do not manage to short-term metrics – as our decision not to fire (or "lay off", as it was described by most) associates and staff during the recent difficult economic environment illustrates. We march to our own drumbeat and do not feel compelled to respond to other firms' or analysts' perceptions of the legal "marketplace." We do not accept that financial metrics like profits per partner or revenues per lawyer – which are often the subject of rankings and commentary in the legal press – are the most useful measure of law firm success. Instead, we believe they are an inadequate and shallow basis for judging even the financial success of a law firm, let alone its professional accomplishment. Several distinguished law firms have, in fact, collapsed in recent years precisely because of their focus on short-term financial returns, often bolstered by debt borrowings. Jones Day has no debt and its finances are conservatively managed. Our priorities are client service and institutional stability. We measure our success by the satisfaction of our clients and the growing demand for our services.
