Call it “boutiqification” of law. The emerging growth of boutique law firms created by attorneys who departed BigLaw firms is creating new dynamics in the industry, with impacts on everyone from lawyers to their clients.
As someone who spent her entire career at BigLaw, working full-time throughout law school and working my way up to become a partner at one of the nation’s premier law firms, I can appreciate the opportunities afforded by BigLaw firms to younger attorneys. I was able to work on some of the most complex, bet-the-company cases with some of the country’s finest lawyers throughout my almost 20 years at BigLaw. It is impossible, however, to ignore the problems lawyers nationwide are saying will ultimately hurt these prestigious law firms by costing them one of their strongest assets: the lawyers who they have invested in and trained for years or decades.
