Senior Associate With Small Book of Business Seeks Work - Suggestions?
Dated: 11-12-2009

We are hearing this very story several times a week. Even in a flourishing economy, we find that senior level attorneys, especially general litigators, have a difficult time finding a new position after being let go from their firm. Without a substantial amount of portable business (at least $300,000-$500,000), many firms are unable to support [...] Related posts:

How Aggressively Should Firms Re-Hire?
Dated: 11-11-2009

JP Morgan recently announced plans to hire 1200 to staff up its real estate lending capabilities. This is as aggressive a hedge on the recovering market as I’ve seen, in an economy where we still see nothing but mixed signals. Banks aren’t law firms, of course, but the two industries have a great many parallels. [...] Related posts:

Could you use an expert opinion on a career or job-search question? We welcome your most pressing questions and are here to provide you with candid, straight-talking career advice.
By Claudia Barnes, Managing Director

Question:
I am a senior (Class of 1998) business litigator who has been laid off of a small boutique firm since June 2009. I have approximately $50,000-$100,000 in portable business that I have maintained for several years now. I have interviewed with several firms in the various geographic regions that my family and I can move to; however, I have not yet received an offer. Many of the firms require more portable business. I am unable to look outside of the state due to my wife's job, and I am losing hope. There simply are not any other firms I can apply to, and I am thinking about starting my own firm. Any suggestions?
