 | | Because all the lawyers in the firm are members of the legal profession, the mission statement should seek to balance the competing values inherent in the practice of law. | | | At the other end, the statement is directed almost completely at the internal stakeholders, the lawyers and in some cases, the staff, and their working environment. | | | Unless the mission of the firm is a collective of convenience held together by self-interest, the mission statement should point toward a moral and intellectual culture that members believe is worthy of support even at some monetary cost to themselves. |

| | Neil Hamilton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 2001, unable to pay legal fees and costs amounting to some £3m, he was declared a bankrupt. | | | Despite being the subject of numerous taunts about the scandal, including being given their "fee" in brown envelopes at the end of the show, the Hamiltons managed to come through the experience well. | | | The media coverage surrounding Neil Hamilton and his refusal to stand aside, along with other allegations of sleaze levelled at the party, severely de-railed the Conservatives' election campaign and contributed to the worst defeat the Conservative Party had suffered for 150 years. |

| | Just as lawyers are moving more freely between firms, law firms are growing rapidly and large firms are citing increasing competition from accountants, among other reasons, to argue that we must accept the use of ethical walls. | | | Is your former lawyer’s interest in being able to move freely from firm to firm more important than your interest, the legal profession’s interest, and society’s interest in maintaining confidentiality of information and the adversary system of justice? | | | The major factor that has tipped the balance toward permitting ethical walls is the growing perception that the practice of law is a business, and that lawyer mobility is a reality of the market that must be accommodated. |

| | It gave the SNP as much media exposure as it had in the 20 previous years and heralded a record SNP vote of 34% in the May 1968 local elections. | | | Nevertheless, the name of Hamilton was a rousing cry for the SNP and Labour decided to make doubly sure of the result by firstly hold the election during the parliamentary recess, an unknown practice, and secondly holding it in the middle of the SNP conference when most activists would be otherwise occupied. | | | The lessons of Hamilton, now apparently forgotten, are a warning to the Labour party of just how soft their traditional vote can be when they are taken for granted. |
