[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It differs by firm. I know that some firms still keep reams of staff attorneys on hand to do in-house doc review, but the last few firms I worked at had few staff attorneys and they were each tied to a practice group and trained to do work that was essential to the practice but impracticable to charge associate rates for either because it's tedious and lengthy or because performing it doesn't provide any kind of "training" for the associates. In those firms it's more like the equivalent of an associate who will not make partner being shifted to permanent senior associate or of counsel, not like an e-discovery grind.[/quote] This said, OP, if you want to shift to private practice you should be offering to join up as a junior associate (even if you have more years of experience) rather than a staff attorney. Partner-track gives you better pay, even at the lowest levels, and more options for your next move.[/quote]
