Nothing, just have a reason for those months, it can be that you went for a euro trip, went around backpacking, learnt a skill, learnt diving, guitar or anything else. You should be able to justify your thought process. I would never mind taking a person in my team who has been on a break if he is able to justify his thoughts. I think many will be like that.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
