Abstract
Although business scholars express significant interest in the sources of firm competitive advantage, little research exists on the use of law as a value capturing resource. This is surprising given that legal issues demand a significant percentage of available time for managers. This manuscript proposes a model showing how a firm can use its legal environment to create sustainable competitive advantages over rivals.
