Case Study: a junior BigLaw corporate associate finds a better work-life fit with BCG Attorney Search

Junior BigLaw Corporate Associate Moves to a Smaller Firm for a Better Life

a junior BigLaw corporate associate in Boston sought to leave their high-pressure environment at a major law firm for a more manageable work-life balance and a focus on specific transactional work. The associate faced the challenge of being too junior to be an attractive lateral hire for most firms. They engaged the services of BCG Attorney Search to navigate this difficult career transition.

BCG Attorney Search advised the associate to be patient and wait to gain more experience. After maintaining contact for several months, BCG successfully placed the associate at the midsized firm Murtha Cullina. The solution provided by BCG Attorney Search resulted in the associate achieving their goal of a better lifestyle and a more desirable work environment, and they reported being very happy in their new position.
