2 partners just left to start Clifford Chance on Monday. It’s been a revolving door the last few years so I would investigate that more.

Thanks for the response. Definitely interesting.

Responding to my own comment to lure in some responses. Come on in, drop a hot take.

Also rumored to be all remote which can be good or bad depending on your style.

Well my candidates left bc their partners never came to the office. So just my experience.

Besides wanting to make partner, is there anything else you’re looking for?
