[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a country club membership, but the only reason I could think of to do it is if it were useful professional networking (i.e. I could see if I were a partner at a firm and membership would give me the opportunity to develop personal relationships with other people who could potential send business my way). If membership didn't contribute to the bottom line, it seems like there are much more affordable ways to cobble together the services offered via country club membership. [/quote]

So this concept can work for some people.  But around DC tougher than say Cleveland.  Biglaw partner here and my clients are national and international.  None are here in DC so no client networking.  You could network with other lawyers but that would not be helpful in my practice.  So I am sure this works for some but in my opinion in DC this does not happen as much.

A key to your comment is "more affordable way."  If you join a club that is of little interest either because you make so much you just don't care or you do not have the time to cobble that together and then do stuff.[/quote]
