  <title>The Valley Current®: Do Nearly-100-Year-Old Law Firms Really Go Out of Business?</title>
  <description>A nearly century-old law firm posts more than $2 billion in revenue, record profits, and no reported debt... until it disappears. In today's episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo examines how a powerhouse like Weil, Gotshal &amp;amp;amp; Manges can unravel not from insolvency, but from the sudden loss of the people and relationships that actually generate its value. As rainmakers defect, compensation math worsens, confidence collapses, and partner mobility can turn concern into a full-scale bank run. Jack explores the “invisible balance sheet” behind professional-services firms, why succession failures and concentrated client relationships can be more dangerous than weak earnings, and how AI may put new pressure on the associate leverage model. For entrepreneurs and lawyers alike, the lesson is unsettling: a business can look financially bulletproof right up until its most important assets walk out the door.
