Firm
Firm or The Firm can have several meanings:
- Any company or business such as a partnership, limited liability partnership, or corporation. This more general meaning is used in macroeconomics (in terms such as ideal firm size).
- The word firm is sometimes used in a more restrictive sense to refer to a business group of professionals, such as law firm, architectural firm, securities/financial firm (such as private equity), or consulting firm. This use can be seen in phrases such as white shoe firm. Contrast with sole practitioner.
- British slang phrase for a criminal gang or football hooligans (see list of hooligan firms).
