When associates tell recruiter Delia Swan they want some breathing room from big-firm life -- but still want to practice with top credentialed attorneys -- she lets them in on a little secret. "I call them my pocket listings," says Swan of the firms, typically spinoffs of major L.A. firms, which offer top-notch lawyers and clients but set the billable-hour requirement around 1,600 hours. The pay isn't as high, but recruiters see a growing demand for such placements as associates protest big-firm drudgery.

When associates tell recruiter Delia Swan that they want some breathing room from big-firm life — but still want to practice with top credentialed attorneys — she lets them in on a little secret.
“I call them my pocket listings,” said Swan, a Los Angeles-based recruiter, who said she borrowed the term from real estate brokers who whisper about listings that haven’t yet hit the market.
