After years of pruning at big law firms, newly minted partners in our annual new partners survey seem a bit more optimistic about the odds of being promoted.
A smaller percentage than last year deemed it “nearly impossible to make partner” at their firms: Just 34.6 percent agreed that it’s “nearly impossible” for associates at large firms to become a partner, compared with 43 percent in 2014. More than 65 percent disagreed, compared with 57 percent last year, which seems to indicate that more newly promoted partners who have accomplished the feat think that others can do the same.
