[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What they are actually saying is that you are a fine associate, hence the good reviews on the work you were doing, but not partner material, which is the next step[/b]. Now you are too expensive to use on the matters you are qualified to cover. Your good reviews will help you find a new position, but keep in mind they will know you were considered not partner material, so don't try to bluff that.[/quote]

NP.  If somebody is a good associate who does good work, what makes them not partner material?  Does that mean they do a good job with work that is handed to them, but they don't seek out more work and/or try to bring in their own clients?[/quote]

NP. It literally just means they didn’t work enough hours. OP, don’t take “not being partner material” to be a slight. It actually speaks well of your priorities and self esteem IMO. [/quote]

I take it to mean the practice group is overstaffed and someone has to go. That's going to be the senior associate who lacks their own book [/quote]
