Black & Wadhams Attorneys At Law’s Post

In exploring whether "A Few Good Men" mirrors real-life criminal defense, it's key to recognize Hollywood's flair for drama. Certainly, the film captures the intensity and complexity of military law, showcasing the challenges faced by defense attorneys. However, real legal battles might not always have such cinematic moments. In practice, preparation, research, and sober negotiations play massive roles, often away from a courtroom's high stakes. So, while engaging, remember it's a blend of fact and fiction. #LegalDrama #MilitaryLaw #CriminalDefense 🎬⚖️

If you’re a law firm partner who is losing junior associates, it’s not them, it’s you. Folks don’t quit their jobs; they quit their bosses. And people quit when they don’t see a future in your organization. In this new blog entry, we explore what type of partner juniors want to work for. They want to be heard; to be developed; to share in the growth of the firm. They want real responsibility, as well as a path to partnership. They want to meet your clients and develop relationships of their own with them. They want to learn how to attract business on their own. The confident partner welcomes this responsibility and embraces the role of teacher and mentor. The insecure, guarded partner does the complete opposite; he/she maintains their book with an iron grip and essentially treats his juniors as revenue streams. Their development is the least of the partner’s worries; to the contrary, he or she is the generally first to complain to other partners about Gen Y/Z’s *entitlement* and failure to make rain. To lead others is one of the greatest privileges you can have. So ask yourself: What kind of partner are you? Firm-focused or self-focused? Selfless or selfish? Engaged in the future on the firm or on the glide towards retirement? And if you don’t know, I can assure you that your juniors know what kind of partner you are, as well as your partners who are hustling. Get back in the game and focus on something other than yourself. The reality is that the practice of law and partnership is the game that never ends; it is infinite.

“The world of defense law firms can be a gilded cage,” writes Collins & Lacy President Christian Stegmaier. “Senior partners, armed with years of experience and a rolodex overflowing with client contacts, reign supreme. “But what happens when this system creates a logjam, preventing the transfer of both knowledge and firm business to the next generation?” In his recent blog post, Christian answers that exact question and explores how to prepare junior associates so the logjam of knowledge never happens.
