#MARKETUPDATE: Where do you stand as a candidate applying to #lawfirms right now? ✨ In #Corporate/M&A and #Finance you're not moving up in this market. Firms hold the leverage, and are in the position of power right now. There are quite a few roles across the board, but firms are being super picky. ✨In #litigation you're probably in the best position as a candidate that you're ever going to get. Moving up is still difficult, but if you've got good/niche experience then you're golden. ✨ In #TPE you're pretty much always in the drivers seat as a candidate, but the market still isn't quite where we'd want it to be. You can probably move up if you're a midlevel associate. ✨ In #Antitrust you are very sought after right now. We've got roles in firms who hardly ever hire and you can certainly move up at least a rank or two. Also a good spot if you're in another common law jurisdiction. Get in touch if you're interested to hear about any other practice areas, or for more information on the above.

What should you do if you are a GC and you find yourself without a job? Michael Sachs talks to Law360 Pulse about how GCs can effectively navigate landing a new gig. https://bit.ly/3SlQl8o #mlaglobal #jobsearch #lawfirms #GC #lawjobs

FWA Friday Update! Experience brings so much more than a few grey hairs…stability, work ethic, adaptability, and emotional intelligence! And there is so much more….. The legal landscape in Scotland continues to evolve and increasingly we hear from partners who feel they have a lot more to give and, in some cases, we are told “ I have one last move in me !” Some may seek a management role, client management role, a part-time role, a strategic role, or an in-house role….the opportunities for added value are endless. As if we don’t know it already, here is a helpful reminder of some of the areas a more experienced partner at the latter stages of their career can offer and the many benefits they bring to a legal firm or an organisation: 1. **Client Relationships:**   - They often bring with them a client base and established relationships. Their reputation in the legal community can attract high-profile clients, contributing to the firm's success and growth. 2. **Mentorship and Training:**   - They are mentors to junior lawyers, providing guidance, support, and opportunities for professional development. 3. **Strategic Decision-Making:**   - They are typically involved in strategic decision-making for the firm. Their experience allows them to contribute to the development of long-term plans, business strategies, and risk management. 4. **Business Development:**   - They will often play a key role in business development activities. They may be involved in networking, client acquisition, and marketing efforts, leveraging their experience and connections to bring in new business for the firm. 5. **Leadership and Management:**   - they can take on leadership roles within the firm, guiding the overall direction and culture. Their leadership helps in maintaining a cohesive team, managing conflicts, and ensuring that the firm operates efficiently. In summary, experienced partners bring a wealth of wisdom, expertise, and strategic value that goes beyond legal practice, contributing significantly to the firm or organisation’s success and development. Each partner we speak to is different and wants something different. We are always happy to have a confidential discussion with partners or hiring firms and organisations. Have a great weekend!

To my previous message about being full for consulting for schools, we will also be on a waitlist soon (maybe Mid-August) for law school applicant consulting. “Just hire more people, right?” is the classic line I get every year we are at capacity from the business world. And we will likely hire a COO for our school consulting side so we can take more colleges and law schools. But all of our hires have been someone I know, or someone people at the firm know. And we still have gone very slowly here. We will always look to make the right hire and fit for both our firm culture and for our clients over simply opting for short-term cash flow. Also, and I think so many companies lose sight of this, demand is always swinging on a pendulum. So what we are very averse to do is hire someone who can do well this year only to not have a job next. Are we hiring? Maybe. Highly likely for a COO. But after that only if the demand stays strong and the fit and value add is great.
