Steefel, Levitt & Weiss, a midsize San Francisco-based firm known for its real estate practice, has lost 11 partners since January 2005, including two who announced this week they're leaving for Reed Smith. But the 65-lawyer firm is working on building itself back up. "The size that I think Steefel can do a good job at is a firm of 110 to 125 lawyers," says Chairman Barry Lee. Observers say midsize regional firms like Steefel can prosper indefinitely, as long as they can retain or replace big-book partners.

Robert Zeavin was scrambling to finish work the day before leaving for a World Cup soccer match in Munich earlier this month. Even so, the head of Steefel, Levitt & Weiss’ litigation group set aside three hours to mentor associates.
“I’m not sure two or three years ago I would have — a day before I flew to Germany, when I’m really, really grinding — spent two to three hours debriefing the associates,” Zeavin said.
