A Bankruptcy attorney with a book of business close to $1 million contacted me for assistance toward finding a new legal position. Bankruptcy law is a niche practice area. Many major law firms do not have large bankruptcy practices, and only maintain a small number of bankruptcy attorneys on staff. This attorney was unusual because they did not have a huge book of business, although they worked for a major law firm as a partner. The attorney sought to move because the work they brought in could not bill out at the firm†s high hourly billing rates and, as a consequence had to turn away a lot of work.
