[quote=Anonymous]Are you a partner where you are now? It’s not clear from your post. If a big law firm is thinking of bringing you on, it’s to meet a need that they have. They need capacity in your area to service their current clients. That is the only reason a big law firm hires associates. Therefore, you will definitely not have autonomy. You will be expected to work on the clients of whatever partner has demonstrated to the firm that they can keep another associate busy. If you happen to bring your client along, that’s a bonus but is not why they are hiring you. That would be imperative for a lateral partner, but is not the hiring objective for an associate. If you want to keep your current autonomy, stay where you are or find a smaller place that will bring you over as a partner. [/quote]
