A labor and employment associate at a small Law Firm contacted me. They were interested in moving to a larger law firm. The attorney attended a top law school where they finished at the top of their class. In addition, the attorney was a summer associate at a major American law firm and also received an offer from that firm. During the attorney†s third year of law school, a partner the attorney worked for during the summer, left to start their own law firm. They called the attorney and asked her if she would like to join them and, incredibly, she did even though they offered her a drastically lower compensation in addition to the risk of going to a brand-new firm.
