I am a firm believer that there is a place in the legal ecosystem for all lawyers who want to participate. That ranges from international law firm, to in-house, to regional boutique (or if you're me—a legal recruiter!) For those in law firms, figuring out the type of firm that is the best for you means understanding the nuances of different-sized firms. Drawing from my experience successfully placing numerous candidates in both big law and boutique settings, as well as a former attorney who has had the pleasure of working in both, I have distinctive insight into the business models of each type of firm and how those can impact long-term career trajectories.
