Remaking News of the Week: Why Breakaways and Boutiques are Flourishing

In Remaking News of the Week: Why Breakaways and Boutiques are Flourishing I feature a piece from LAW.COM titled Good-Bye Big Law, Hello Boutiques. Why These Young Lawyers Are Sold on Smaller Firms. I commend the read and, if you’re inclined, podcast because it cogently reminds larger BigLaw business model firms that they are no longer the talent magnet they’ve been accustomed to for all of living memory.

Good-Bye Big Law, Hello Boutiques was written by Leigh Jones and Vanessa Blum on August 09, 2019 and features an excellent Legal Speak podcast (sponsored by Econ One). 

“Big Law is making strides in trying to improve the experience for young lawyers who are demanding a better work-life balance. Longer parental leave, unlimited time off and enhanced mentorship programs are some of the changes that major law firms have initiated in order to keep talented attorneys from walking out the door once they pay down student loan debt.

But for some lawyers, there is no substitute for practising in a boutique firm, where they say the quality of the work, training and personal attention to their development is unparalleled.”
