Could you be more specific? Are you referring to stock ownership limits ?

Yes, I meant being limited in terms of stock ownership, investments, mortgage lending, etc.

When I was at a Big Law firm there was no tracking. Big 4 tracks for auditor independence regulations.

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Anyone try this approach with success?
