Practicing Law in the Era of Mandatory Retirement
As a legal recruiter, Laurence R. Latourette has met a growing number of lawyers who are bumping up against their firms' mandatory retirement age but who are interested in continuing to practice law. And that trend will accelerate over the next five years, he notes, in part because about 60 percent of law partners are now 55 or older. Latourette discusses the current state of mandatory retirement policies at law firms, and how attorneys can help themselves to make a late career lateral move.
