The Hidden Cost of an Empty Chair

Every month a critical attorney position goes unfilled, your firm bleeds revenue, overworks remaining associates, and risks losing clients to competitors who are fully staffed.

And a bad hire? That’s even worse — the cost of a failed lateral can exceed 3× the attorney’s annual compensation when you factor in lost clients, severance, and another search.
