Spring 2009 News from BCG Attorney Search
In the News:
State of the Market Reports for U.S. and International Regions
Spring 2009 is upon us. The last few months have seen drastic changes in the legal market place. Law firms are acutely aware of the slow down, and they continue to be mindful of headcounts and operate strategically in their hiring decisions. Despite the economy, firms are still hiring in a number of practice areas, and some geographic markets are more buoyant than others. Now that the election is behind us, some of the uncertainty is gone and questions that preceded it can be answered.
Many of our search consultants have recruited during slowdowns in the market, and are, therefore, very able to advise you on how to best navigate the market during this interesting time. This newsletter provides the state of the legal market around the country and in several international markets.

Ambivalence at the Top:What the New York Senate Race Teaches Us About the Lateral Process
By Carey Bertolet

If you are going to make the attempt to win a fight-flailing around is far more of an energy suck than hitting your mark. A good boxer commits to hitting the mark.
