[quote=Anonymous]I'm not familiar with OP's practice area specifically, but my friends at mid-sized firms indicate there is not enough work (in general) and that some of the home-grown mid-level associates are being or will be forced out. It's also taking much longer to make counsel/partner, so there is some crowding at the 7th-8th year level. I would not expect a firm to "need" a 7th-year lateral except in unusual cases -- e.g., that person brought some business/connections, or could be set up to directly inherit somebody's book (I've seen the latter a couple times with retiring partners, where the firm did not plan well and had nobody senior enough to take on the business). Again, though, I've no idea of the specifics in OP's area. [/quote]
