A top law firm’s labor and employment practice landed a large class action case. To ensure the team had sufficient capacity for the matter while protecting its existing associates from burnout and potential attrition, the firm needed an additional mid-level labor and employment associate. However, because the case had the potential to settle, the firm did not want to add permanent headcount for what could be a temporary increase in workload.
SOLUTION
Latitude provided an attorney with Big Law senior associate and labor and employment experience who brought a team-oriented approach and was willing to support associates at every level. The additional support helped ease the workload. And because the Latitude attorney was engaged specifically to provide flexible capacity, existing associates did not have to worry about competing for hours or advancement if the workload later declined.
