Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

Lessons learned from a decade in consulting:


Generalist skillet is valuable as versatility opens doors early on.

Specialization is discouraged early on but is expected to move up the rank

Building depth and brand come with unforgiving travel.

Network matters, and sometimes it matters more than skillset

Unbelievable growth, if you are willing to work for it.

Leadership and people management skills are non negotiable

Kool aid is strong and can make it hard to leave.

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon.
