[quote=Anonymous]Agree that it generally works best if the lawyer has ever worked in biglaw because it is so different and if you’re new to it, it’s pretty hard to make it work. Similarly, I know some who have been very successful because they were very high up in government and they are able to bring in business on their name/reputation alone. But that is rare and for most gov attorneys it’s a hard transition. It may even better for the lawyer to come in as counsel/senior counsel (depending on the firm - if it is one like PP’s where everyone is made partner at 7/8 years then you need to come in as partner) so that the expectation is lower and they will get staffed on matters rather than having as much pressure to build a book. If you’re contemplating it, I’d ask a lot of questions to the firm about how they plan to support you in building your book, whether or not they have work for you already, etc [/quote]
