Some interesting legal reads for the week of July 20, 2015:
- A study from the Kaufmann Foundation on how entrepreneurs get funded, which emphasizes the guidance provided by VCs and other equity investors that can’t be provided by banks providing loans.
- From the WSJ’s LawBlog, a profile of a law firm that refuses to hire graduates of Ivy League law schools and other top tier schools. While I’m on board with the idea that talent can be found everywhere, and top schools are not great at teaching practical skills, it seems illogical to completely cut out a group of candidates.
- Also from the WSJ, large law firms are cutting their reliance on bank debt, in the wake of the Dewey LeBoeuf collapse.
