Traditional Law Firms are Still the Better Choice for Growth-Minded Attorneys
As Published in The Legal Intelligencer – Special Section March 2021: Top Laterals/New Partners
Now that we have reached the one-year mark where most lawyers have been working almost entirely remotely, many firms find themselves addressing their future as they consider a plan to migrate slowly back into an office-based work environment.
