California legal market trends with partner attorneys

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Delia Swan, president of Swan Legal Search discusses the latest trends for partner attorneys in the California legal market.

“There is always a market for partners,” said Swan.  However, as she explains, law firms are becoming a bit pickier when it comes to the book of business the partner must have to get a foot in the door.
