Law firms employ various methods to identify people to be hired as partners. One of the ways is to wait for interested employees to approach them with the request to be engaged as partner. The most common approach to these issues is by engaging search firms to search for suitable people to fill the available positions.
Legal organizations receive many applications from various candidates seeking to be hired as partners. However, most of these applicants lack the skills which organizations want in employees. Applications are made directly by the interested individuals or through staff recruitment agencies. Some of the applications are rejected since they do not meet the qualifications of the law companies.
Applicants at the level of partner, who have been out of work for any reason, often have their request turned down. To be hired at that level, the applicant should be in a position to bring business to the firm. Those with minimal or no business may not be granted partnership. Partner level positions are decreasing because law firms requiring service partners are few.
Applicants make statements about what they have accomplished in the past. They also give a business plan that is intended to show the law firm, the contribution they will make if given the position they are seeking. In many cases such requests are viewed with reservations. This does not mean lawyers cannot bounce back to success in legal practice.
