Thirty percent of law firms indicated they would adjust rates primarily by timekeeper class, with the largest increase expected for associate rates, where 45.5% of firms anticipate a 4-6% increase. The survey polled 688 US law firms and received responses from 288 firms, including 45% of the top 250 firms.
A survey of 945 employers found that providing voluntary accident and disability insurance to employees was associated with lower operational costs for companies. Specifically:
- 40% of companies that offered voluntary accident insurance experienced declines in workers' compensation claims, including 50% of large companies.
- 31% of companies reported declines in employee absenteeism after offering voluntary accident insurance.
- Similar results were found for voluntary disability insurance, with 36% of companies reporting lower workers' compensation claims.
By reducing claims and absenteeism, the survey suggests offering these voluntary insurance plans can significantly reduce business expenses for employers.

The document summarizes a study that examined the impact of interest rates on the profits of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The lowest mean scores related to avoiding increasing debt levels beyond repayment capacity and explicit credit approval policies. In conclusion, the study provides initial evidence that interest rates influence profits of SMEs in the UAE.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
