This Partner just got hired to open a new office Not because of technical skills But because he can do these 3 things… I've noticed a huge shift in what law firms want lately. They're organically expanding - opening offices across the Southwest, and entering completely new markets. And when I talk to hiring partners, they're not just looking for technical fee earners. They want entrepreneurial heavy-hitters who can: - Build and lead high-performing teams - Generate their own client base - Pioneer new markets for their firms Last year, I placed a partner with a firm expanding into new offices. They wanted someone who could establish their brand in a completely new market. Someone who could create something nearly from scratch. Because when you're one of the first senior lawyers in a new office, you're not just joining a team - you're building a business. And if you can bring in new business and create fresh revenue streams... Firms have no choice but to promote you. Because you're not just handling existing work. You're creating new opportunities. And that's exactly what law firms need in 2025.

Want to know the secret of the most financially successful lawyers that I know? Here it is… They know that money loves action. If they go to a conference on Friday and learn something that may give them an edge - they have implemented things come Monday. They are constantly: 🚀 Investing in their education and improvement; 🚀 Improving their tech stack; 🚀 Hiring; 🚀 Finding new ways to better serve their clients and communities; 🚀 Opening new locations; and 🚀 Improving their marketing. They don’t wait for things to be perfect to act. They know that perfect never happens and there is a giant tax to be paid by delaying action. Rather, they are clear in their vision, and quick to seize opportunities that align with it. And at the very top, those folks know that the bigger the action the bigger the reward. And there’s no right or wrong way to do this. If you are serving your family, your clients, and your community you are a success. But if you want more money, you probably need to take more action.

From Zoom to room: Law firms push for in-person mentorship As the pandemic’s remote work trend recedes, top law firms are increasingly emphasizing in-office attendance for early-year associates, particularly those in their first three years. Firms like Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Goodwin Proctor, and Latham & Watkins now lean towards hybrid models, requiring a minimum of three in-office days per week to ensure critical training and mentorship from senior lawyers. While exceptions exist, such as Quinn Emanuel’s fully remote policy, the predominant trend reflects a return to on-site involvement, which firms say helps build skills and foster collaboration. For firms, however, the return carries increased operational costs, as real estate expenses rise to accommodate more associates back in physical offices. Balancing partner preferences for remote flexibility with the need to provide in-person guidance has become a new challenge, with some firms even linking bonuses to attendance to encourage in-office engagement.

Building a Team, Building Success When one of our clients decided to expand into a new state and open an IP department, they knew the challenges ahead. It’s not just about launching a new office, it’s about finding the right people to make it thrive. They had already hired their partners and managing directors but needed key players to complete the team: professional staff and associate attorneys. The initial projection? Hiring could take close to a year. But in less than six months, our team delivered: - 5 professional staff members - 3 associate attorneys With thoughtful recruiting, vetting, and assessing the right cultural and professional fit, we built their department with precision and care. Every hire was made with their vision and goals in mind. Today, the office is fully staffed and operating at 100% efficiency, right on schedule for the start of the year. The client reached out to share their gratitude, saying we helped them focus on what truly matters: their business and clients. This is why we do what we do. We take the weight of recruiting off our clients' shoulders so they can focus on growth and success.
