Every two weeks, the business development tactics top lawyers use are free at therainmakingmagazine.com ---------------------------------------- Every year, around bonus and distribution season, law firm partners ask themselves the same question: is it time to make a move? In this solo cast, Scott Love — legal recruiter with 30+ years in the industry and specialist in corporate and finance partner placements — walks through the 10-category career assessment framework he uses with partners every day. If you've ever wondered whether your current firm is still the right fit, this episode gives you a structured, honest way to think it through. What you'll learn: The 10 categories that determine whether a partner should consider a move — from leadership confidence to long-term personal fulfillment Why most partners leave for one of two reasons — and how to identify which one applies to you The 1–10 satisfaction scale: what a six or below actually means for your next step Why "I'm not asking you to leave — I'm asking you to have a 30-minute conversation" is the right frame The "rule it out, then rule it in" approach to evaluating another firm without overcommitting How to use a personal journal to track your diligence at each round without losing perspective Why the most important question isn't which firm pays more — it's which firm is best for your clients What the LPQ process actually looks like — and how Scott's team helps partners navigate it The free resource at partnersonthemove.com: flowcharts, quizzes, ethics guidance, compensation info, and more — no registration required When to reach out to Scott directly — even if you're not sure you're looking Visit: https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/erxMA31lttg ---------------------------------------- If you are a successful law firm partner or law firm founder and want to hear about other options, please book a time on Scott Love's calendar here: https://attorneysearchgroup.com/schedule Or email Scott to connect with him at: scott@attorneysearchgroup.com ---------------------------------------- This podcast is sponsored by SurePoint Legal Insights (formerly known as Leopard Solutions)–turning legal intelligence into opportunity.
