Getting Work in Order

Updated: Before Foley & Lardner, one of America's top law firms, takes on a new client, it must check for conflicts with existing engagements. That means looking to see not only whether the Milwaukee-based firm already represents a competitor, or someone involved in an action against the prospective client. It has to check all the way up to the parent-company level, across 17 Foley & Lardner offices, as well as the files of some 1,000 attorneys.
