Family and one-shot client work is divided from elite corporate practice

Evidence

Big-​firm lawyers cover many fields and many problems. But there are areas they def­ initely do not touch. One is divorce. Wall Street does very little family law, except per­ haps to mop up the financial fallout when multimillionaire couples split apart. It is the lawyers in smallish firms and in law clinics, and the solos, who handle “one-​shot” clients—​couples who want a divorce, victims of car crashes, immigrants facing deporta­ tion, people arrested for drunk driving. — Lawrence M. Friedman and Grant M. Hayden, American Law, 1243
