Firms often say,
“We just need someone good.”

But “good” at what, exactly?

Clarity before hiring saves time, money, and morale.

They show up months later as:
• Frustration
• Miscommunication
• Quiet disengagement

That’s why alignment matters more than speed.

We're excited to welcome Anne Dorshimer and Morgan Jones to our Seattle office! Anne will support the firm's leading Alcoholic Beverages practice and Morgan will support the firm's Investment Management practice. Welcome, Anne and Morgan! #LegalTalent https://bit.ly/49HBNc3

We’ve seen talented attorneys leave “good” firms because no one ever explained the path forward.

Ambiguity creates exits.

Clarity creates loyalty.
