The laws of the organization of human activity do not differ much, regardless of whether it is legal or criminal.

So, the typical structure of the "family":

• Don (Italian domn, Italian capomafioso) is the head of the family. Gets information about any "business" committed by each member of the family. Don is elected by the vote of the capo. In case of equality of the number of votes, the assistant of Don must also vote.

Don is the managing partner. Of course, he is aware of all the projects that are being conducted in his company - if not about any details, then in general exactly. Elected (if elected) by voting partners. In the event of a tie, the Chairman of the Board of Partners may state his / her weighty opinion.

• A junior boss or an underboss is a "deputy" dona, the second person in the family who is appointed by the don. The handler is responsible for the actions of all the capo. He replaces the Don in his absence.

Successor deputies are successors and always have, the head of the legal company (unless he dreams of a complete cessation of his firm's activities after retiring from business) also looks after himself a follower to whom he will hand the case over.

• Consilieri (Italian consigliere) is a family counselor, a person whom the Don can trust and whose advice he hears. He serves as an intermediary in resolving disputes, acts as an intermediary between the Don and political, trade union or judicial officials or acts as the representative of the family in meetings with other families. Consilieri, as a rule, does not have its own "team", but they have a significant influence in the family. In this case, the consilieri usually has a legitimate business, for example, lawyer practice or work as a stockbroker.

The mediator and counselor are very different kinds of activities. Intermediary may be little-known to the general public, but very close personalities, and an adviser - quite a popular figure, even to colleagues.

• Caporegime, capo, or captain - the head of the "team", or "combat group" (consisting of "soldiers"), who is responsible for one or more activities in a certain area of ​​the city. The family usually has 6-9 such teams, and in each of them - up to 10 soldiers. Kapo obeys the assistant or the Don himself. Representation in the capo does the improviser, but directly the capo appoints personally don.

Of course, the head of practice or partner! He is responsible for a certain direction (practice), conducts business, gives a part of profit to the firm. In the subordination has a staff of lawyers with similar practical preferences (corporate law, real estate and construction, litigators and so on ad infinitum).

• The soldier is the youngest member of the family who was "brought" into the family, firstly, because he proved his utility for her, and secondly, on the recommendation of one or more kapo. After the election, the soldier usually ends up in the team whose capo recommended him.

Paraligal or lawyer bigger. On the recommendation, thank God, not all legal firms are arranged, but the furious interviews are all that the firm is bigger and more solid - the more complex and numerous. And yes, the rule is that anyone who is interviewed, to that in practice in 99% of cases and get.
