Large law firms came to dominate legal practice nationwide by 2000.
Evidence
Nor was this only a phenomenon of Wall Street. There were large firms in every major city, and even minor ones. Each city had its own idiosyncrasies of organization and of practice; law firms in Denver were different, in their history and growth, from Wall Street firms. But patterns tended to converge. Everywhere, the practice was dominated by big law: that is, big law firms. — Lawrence M. Friedman, A History of American Law, 4026
