[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am sorry but you have a total misconception of what the of counsel position is in big law DC. Typically it is for associates who have spent most of their careers in the firm, yet for one reason or another the firm isn’t prepared to make them a partner. Or, it’s for lawyers who join the firm from the government with the expectation that within a couple years you will be considered for partner.   Unless you are highly specialized and fill a real void for a particular firm, these jobs are not normally available to senior associates from Cleveland law firms who have no business and were “given the talk.”  You’re dreaming.

This depends heavily on the firm and specialty.[/quote]

Yes, but this is generally the case for DC firms.  OP needs to bring in some kind of DC-centric specialty/niche to really get in as &quot;Of Counsel&quot;.  Depending on experience, I'd recommend OP to look into in-house jobs as well.  [/quote]
For the top-rated mega-firms, yes.  But there are a ton of “smaller” (&lt;250 attorneys) and boutique firms that can provide better opportunities for someone who isn’t on the traditional associate-to-partner up-or-out pipeline,[/quote]
