Case Study: a major law firm helps a bankruptcy partner find a better-fit national firm role with BCG Attorney Search

East Coast Bankruptcy Attorney Seeking New Pastures

A bankruptcy attorney and partner at a major law firm contacted BCG Attorney Search with a challenge. The attorney had a significant book of business, but the firm's high hourly billing rates prevented them from billing out much of their work, forcing them to turn away clients. This limitation was common in bankruptcy law, where billing rates are often set by trustees, and it was stifling the attorney's ability to grow their practice and earn appropriate compensation.

BCG Attorney Search’s solution was to identify midsize, national law firms with more competitive billing rates that were seeking to establish or grow their bankruptcy practice. The attorney was successfully placed at a firm that not only accommodated their billing structure but also provided a national platform. This allowed the attorney to service their existing clients, receive referrals from other offices, and gain greater job security by building their book of business in a more supportive environment.
