“Partners” at Sprenger & Lang was a position name, not necessarily equity partners. They were paid well, but weren’t necessarily owners. Paul Sprenger owned it, and nobody who worked there ever forgot it. This is more of a story about the drying up of the class action employment litigation market — or there being too many competitors — than a story about the current economy.

While I am sure this has been rare in legal firms, tapping partners in an LLC or shareholders in a closely-held company for capital infusion certainly isn’t that unusual. I guess this is a sign that we are moving inexorably closer to the full realization that law = business.
