[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rude much? Maybe OP was given the talk because her barely top 100 firm isn’t doing very well. Or maybe it’s because all the male partners don’t see women as viable candidates. Or for some other reason unrelated to her skills. She may have something to offer a firm in need. She should talk to a recruiter. [/quote]

You don't get passed over for partner at a  barely top 100 Cleveland firm then move to a DC BigLaw firm as of counsel.  It doesn't happen ever, I dare say, especially with no portable business.  [/quote]
You do realize that “of counsel” doesn’t mean the same thing at every firm, right?[/quote]

We're not talking about "every firm."  OP specifically asked about BigLaw DC of counsel.  Ain't gonna happen.[/quote]

If you look toward the bottom of the Vault 100 rather than the top, you can find opportunities.  But as I said above, it also depends heavily on specialty.  General litigators are a dime a dozen, and the only alternative for them is likely to be staff or contract attorney.  If OP has more of a niche specialty that’s harder to recruit, that can open different doors because those practices/firms are more likely to be open to alternative candidates to fill a need if the talent is there.[/quote]
