LEAVE YOUR FORMER EMPLOYER BEHIND
By Bill Gaffney

Q: I am a salesperson who recently was let go from my job, through no fault of my own. All of a sudden they are refusing to pay me owed commissions and also threatening me if I go to work for a direct competitor. What are my legal rights and how do I get the money owed to me?

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
By Bill Gaffney

Q: I am in a work situation where the office is 90 percent men. Of course, ''boys will be boys,'' and there is the occasional off-color joke exchanged. I am certainly not a prude, but those jokes are not amusing to me and I don't care to even hear them from a distance. What can I do about the situation, and would this fall under the guise of sexual harassment?

How BCG finds jobs
By Harrison Barnes, Esq.

Introduction
BCG Attorney Search maintains the largest and most up-to-date database of attorney-job opportunities inside law firms in the world. BCG Attorney Search-in good economic times and in bad-is built upon the simple core belief that better research leads to better placements. Research is, by far, the most important function a first-rate legal-recruiting firm does. In fact, BCG Attorney Search does so much research that our efforts have spawned several independent research-based companies, including Legal Authority and LawCrossing, among others, which collectively assist tens of thousands of individuals inside the legal profession every year. From our foundation as a Los Angeles-based legal-recruiting firm to our current state as a core group of legal recruiters spread throughout the United States, we have expanded through elevating research to its very highest level.

How to Select the Best Legal Recruiter and Maximize the Effectiveness of Working with One
By Harrison Barnes, Esq., Dan Binstock, Esq., Raffaele Murdocca, Esq.

INTRODUCTION

One of the most misunderstood facets of the legal recruiting industry is the following: You have many options when choosing a legal recruiter (not just the one that cold-called you), and how well you work with your legal recruiter will directly influence how successful the legal recruiter is in working with you.

Treating Your Legal Career Like a Small Business
By Harrison Barnes, Esq.

At the outset, it is important to realize that much of what I am saying goes against the "traditional" view of the law as a profession. Obviously, the law is a profession. Notwithstanding the use of the word "profession," though, you can still get fired, not advance, or find yourself in a dead end job. Your skills or specialty can quickly become irrelevant in the marketplace. You can also find yourself in a geographic location where there is no work (i.e., "business").

Taking a hiatus from practicing law
By Harrison Barnes, Esq.

It is becoming increasingly common for attorneys desiring more than a few weeks off from the practice of law to simply quit their current jobs. Unlike some other professions, most law firms do not look favorably upon attorneys' taking more than a few weeks off unless they are involved in "a major life event." In the calculus of most law firms, a "major life event" is primarily limited to such circumstances as the death of a close family member (usually a spouse), a life-threatening illness, or the birth of a child (only if you are a woman). Accordingly, attorneys without such explanations often simply quit, explaining to flabbergasted partners that they want to take some time off for travel or reflection. The logic most attorneys follow in quitting is that if they take significant time off from their current firm under any guise other than one of these life-changing events, they will harm their chances for advancement in their current firm's eyes, and therefore, they need to quit completely and find a new law firm once they are ready to return to legal practice. Given the way that law firm politics generally work, that logic is pretty accurate.

How to use a legal search firm
By Harrison Barnes, Esq.

Tailoring Legal Search to Meet Your Firm's Needs
All things considered, legal recruiting is a fairly young industry. Although law firms are increasingly sophisticated in their use of the legal-recruiting industry, BCG believes there is substantial room for improvement in the way the legal-recruiting industry delivers its services and in the way law firms avail themselves of legal-recruiting professionals.

''Firm hopping''
By Harrison Barnes, Esq.

Most attorneys from large firms move at least once or twice during their first three to five years of practice. However, if you are looking at your third or fourth firm in your second year of practice, something is wrong. Several times a day, we see resumes of attorneys attempting to do this, and for the most part, we cannot help them. "Firm hopping" is taken into account by firms assessing your qualifications. Moving several times in a short time span can, in fact, hurt your ability to get a job because it leads law firms to question your loyalty and long-term commitment to the practice of law. In addition, moving several times in a short time span gives firms the impression that you may have moved because your work was not valued at your former firm. None of this is to say that any of the above factors may be relevant to your reasons for moving in the past. Yet, it is important to realize what firms are thinking and that their preconceived notions of an attorney that moves firms too often may negatively influence their ultimate decisions to interview you.

Salary wars and associate hiring
By Harrison Barnes, Esq.

As a recruiting firm, we talk to both partners and associates at firms in every major legal marketplace on a daily basis. These conversations often concern why a lawyer is dissatisfied with his/her current firm or what kind of lawyer a firm seeks to hire. We have discovered that the salary increases that have taken place over the past several years have actually had the effect of straining professional relationships between partners and associates and also between partners. In the end, the more that money becomes the dominating factor defining the relationships among attorneys, the more the profession becomes like a business and less like, well, a profession.
