Comparison Between American Law Firm and Chinese law firm

 According to the status mentioned above, we can figure out that the average size of one Chinese law firm is 10 lawyers. The total incomes of Chinese law firms are 10 hundreds million dollars. The average income of a Chinese law firm is $10,00,00.We often heard that some leaders of Chinese lawyering promulgated to construct large-sized law firms. But the large-sized law firms they have are small ones compare with American large-sized law firms. Even the largest law firm in China has the amount of lawyers no more then 100. It is hard for a Chinese lawyer to image how can a law firm has 2000 lawyers. But it is the truth in American.
 The advantage of a large firm is the large firm has more lawyers, so they have more opportunity to handle complicated legal affairs and provide legal services to large companies or big projects. But it is hard to say the larger the better. Large-sized firms have their difficulties too. A senior partner of a Chicago law firm said that it wasn’t the larger the better, but the better the better.
 Why America has large-sized law firms while China hasn’t large-sized law firms? I think the essential reason is that there are large amount of lawyers in American, and it is the basic to form a large-sized law firm. The law firms adopt the organization of corporation is the other important reason. It is easy to manage a corporation. Within a corporation, the relationship is simplified both in the interior and exterior of the law firm. There are ideology basis to form large-sized firms too. An American lawyer does not mind to be an employee in a law firm, while almost each Chinese law student dreams to have his own law firm after graduation.
 IV. The management
 There is much different management in American law firms, but they all aim at profits. In China, we are ashamed to say we have the purpose of profit, but everyone will be proud if they earn more and the Judicial Bureau takes profits as one of the index to judge a firm successful or not.
