In our research library, we have more than one thousand firm resumes and corporate annual reports. Some are glossier than others. Some have nicer pictures, especially those that feature various firm founders. Many of these brochures and resumes are beautifully designed. You could take the cover off one firm resume and put it on another and some people would not be able to tell the difference.

Sometimes an attorney wishes to evaluate several opportunities, and not limit his search to only one opportunity.
