Law firms don't go public, but plain vanilla accounting firms have such as tax preparer H & R Block (HRB). Last I looked they had a market cap of over $4 billion. GTAX also looks to be developing a sound business model in this area. Healthcare Recoveries' services are quasi-legal in nature, and they have at times done quite well.

<<< One reason that attorneys do not go public is because they are very ETHICAL and cannot do FEE SPLITTING with non-lawyers>>> Was that a joke? Attorneys are well known for FEE SPLITTING, not just among themselves, which is "standard practice", but maybe you do not consider the "comissions" paid as "finder's fees" to ambulance chasers, record keeping personnel at hospitals, or other "whistle blowers" as "FEE SPLITTING". And you do not have to emphasize how ETHICAL the great majority of attorneys are, most people know that based on their own personal experiences, we know also that they are all of very high morality and never lie under oath. Have a good day.
