[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those who are saying he needs to leave ASAP:

What is one gets one  bad review from a partner one year (who was pissed bc the associate escaped from the case) and three glowing reviews? Should that associate still try to get out ASAP?[/quote]

Probably not a problem if the associate can keep his/her plate full with work from other partners, the associate will not need the support of that partner in the future and the associate can still be successful despite that partner taking shots at him/her behind closed doors.  This happened to me.  One partner and I had a series of misunderstands that resulted in him wanting to give me a bad review. Even though he was told his review was not consistent with the high reviews I was getting from other more established partners, he pushed ahead.  It did not keep me from making partner, but eventually I knew I had to practice somewhere else because many of my backers left the firm and that partner's power in the firm grew considerably over time.[/quote]
