Have you experienced BigLaw and found it not to be the fit you were hoping for? Would you prefer to work in a smaller, yet still highly sophisticated, boutique firm where you are sitting second chair at the counsel table? Are you anxious to start flexing your litigation muscles beyond eDiscovery and research assignments (e.g. brief writing, court appearances, depositions, etc.)? If you are looking for a firm that prioritizes career and skills development over billable hours; if you'd like to know all the attorneys in your firm and get one-on-one mentoring from senior partners with decades of experience handling complex litigation; if you simply want a smaller environment with the same big paycheck, then this may be the ideal position for you.
