This template creates an [[Wikipedia:Infobox templates|infobox]] with the general information relevant to a [[law firm]].  It is roughly based on [[Template:Infobox company]] but with law firm-related fields added (e.g., Number of Attorneys) and non-relevant fields eliminated (e.g., Products).  The infobox is not designed to contain all the information about a law firm, just the quick facts people usually want to look up.

Simply copy the following code and paste it at the top of the law firm entry, then fill in the blanks.  The ''firm_name'', ''num_offices'', ''num_attorneys'', and ''date_founded'' fields are obligatory.  Other entries left blank will be excluded from the displayed infobox.  To change the label from "Attorneys" to "Lawyers", use {{para|num_lawyers}} instead of {{para|num_attorneys}}.

=== Example ===

Suppose we fill in the blanks like this:

The infobox will display like this on the right.  Notice the ''founder'' field is not displayed because we left it blank.
