* “There are definite competitive advantages that smaller firms have. Don’t beat your head against a wall because you can’t compete as much on compensation, instead, emphasize where you do have advantages.” — Richard Brock
* “We have to serve both the law firms – they are our clients, but we also have to serve the talent, the candidates, because that’s really our product.” — Richard Brock
