[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a first year in 2001, there was a recession right after 9/11 and lots of law firm layoffs. There was just no work to give the new associates. They cut the junior associates and the expensive “of counsel” first. If you start billing less than 160/month regularly you will know you are in their radar to get axed.[/quote] Yep, and this was the true birth of the practice of firing associates for "cause" when the cause was really "no work to give them." Then the firms felt comfortable Latham-ing en masse in 2008.[/quote] Harder for associates, of course, but try not to rely solely on other people giving you work. Try to generate your own work that goes with you so if you are laid off, you still have clients. [/quote]
