A regular listener asked us to cover the topic of how a junior or Mid level associate can successfully make the transition from a small or medium sized firm to a large firm.

How to successfully, technically, make that transition, is an impossible question to answer because every lawyer, law firm and practice area is different - however, we can cover how to be attractive to a move like that, is able to be covered and Rob covers some of the tactics you can use to get your foot in the door
