The firm currently considers associates for shareholder membership
after seven years of practice, depending on length of time with the
firm and other appropriate factors. However, we do not have an "up or
out" system. The firm will consider contract-based or flexible
schedules, which serve both an individual's and the firm's needs (in
addition to those not interested in the shareholder track). Among the
criteria used to determine advancement are:
Professional skills
Productivity
Client responsibility
Firm contributions
Contribution to firm profitability
Fiscal and administrative responsibility
Professional activities
Collegiality
