Advice to law firm management:
I think it would prove beneficial if the partners could find a way to provide advancement opportunities for their associates so that they wouldn't feel they have to leave the firm.

Pros:
For an attorney interested in the practice of energy law, I can't imagine many firms on the West Coast being a better place to work than Alcantar&Kahl. They have an impressive client list and offer the opportunity to take on challenging and interesting work.

Cons:
Alcantar&Kahl is a very small firm. For some people that may be a good aspect but for me it proved to mean that I didn't see much in the way of an upward trajectory for me with the firm.
