Ready To Change Law Firms? Not So Fast; the Grass May Not Be Greener at Another Law Firm

This may be surprising to hear, but most law firm candidates recruiters speak with about moving to a new firm say they are not happy with their current law firm. This has become an ongoing situation legal recruiters see in law firm partners who are looking to make a move for the wrong reasons.
