Startup Lawyer + CTO @ Optimal | VC Law Blogger

Optimal Counsel LLP's 2L Summer Fellowship kicked off this year in June, with the excellent Cole Horton joining us this summer from Duke. We're now reviewing applications for Summer 2025 and encourage any interested rising 2Ls to e-mail us at careers@optimalcounsel.com with a Resume and 1L Transcript. Details about career opportunities at Optimal, including our recruiting requirements, are available here: https://lnkd.in/gZBQpZV8 A lot of elite boutique law firms like to pretend that the *absence* of junior attorneys is some kind of positive. We fully disagree and have disagreed for a very long time. Some of our (now) senior attorneys have been with our team since their 2L year in law school and we're all the better for having those "lifers" on our team. For boutique law firms to scale and play a meaningful role in the market, they must recruit and train juniors. And with the right technology and learning infrastructure, having those juniors around maximizes efficiency for clients, who don't need or want Partners doing "the basics" when a well-trained junior will do. Our 2L Fellow program is a win for our firm and a win for high-performing ambitious law students who want something different (*very* different) from the classic BigLaw path.

Finding the best talent in the draft earlier has always been a tenet of Moneyball.
