[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the firm. Sounds like you're at a small firm, which means that it's even harder to generalize. Try to look at it from the partners' perspective. If you're costing the firm money -- billing less than you make -- they will only be able to afford it for so long. Even if your partner wants to keep you, he will need a reason that's good enough to convince the other partners. If you're making money for the firm you could potentially be safe for much longer, since the discussion would then be your practice area versus bringing in an associate in some other practice area where there's more business. If you want to be safe, seek work from other partners even if it's outside your practice area. Nothing is safer than being profitable.[/quote]
