Attract More Clients.  Energize Your Practice.
Ensure Your Success.
Sounds simple, doesn't it?   In reality, it's easier said than done, particularly in this tough economic climate.  Grim statistics from The National Law Journal includes the figure that the nation's 250 largest law firms fired close to ten percent of its associates in 2009.  Headhunters have reported a huge spike in the number of former partners seeking new positions, and we all know that the failure rate of law firms (including the folding of some venerable old-guard firms) has risen dramatically.  A  recent Hildebrandt Baker Robbins report indicates that equity partners will likely suffer a reduction in their ranks in 2011.

Therefore, it is important that all attorneys - in whatever stage of their careers - begin thinking of themselves as businesses, not just highly-trained legal professionals.   At this juncture, all attorneys and firms should have business development plans in place.   That is where ESQ Consulting's expertise in business and career development can be of service to you.
