The legal industry is a constant competition. From getting into law school, to ranking in the top of your class, to securing a lucrative job, being a lawyer requires competing every step of the way. Law firms are no different. Law firms compete every day, and the firms that are winning the competition are the ones with the most talented attorneys. In Win the Talent Game: A Guide to Lateral Hiring for Law Firms and Lawyers, Richard Brock examines the most effective way for law firms to bring in top talent and increase their revenue: partner-level lateral hiring. When law firms hire a partner-level lawyer from another law firm, they are growing their business through lateral hiring. Richard dives into the ethical considerations of lateral hiring, what motivates a lawyer to move laterally, and best practices for successful lateral hiring.Your law firm needs talented attorneys to stay competitive. Once you embrace the power of lateral hiring in growing your business, your law firm will gain the edge it needs to thrive.
A five-year-old's father disappears on a stormy night after a chance meeting with one of his high school students. The town believes he ran off with her. Years later, the boy discovers his father's diary in an old box and begins putting together a tragic truth about his death in the sea. But the diary also kindles a relationship with the father he never knew. When he meets a girl whose father suffered a similar fate, they form a strong bond. Through their adventures, we not only watch them grow. We relive mid-century Laguna Beach and are transported to a magical time.
Anton and Nadia fall quickly in love. Sadly, their love is not to be and they are forced to opposite ends of the Russian Empire. After three years of tumultuous change, loss of noble status, and no sure means of making a living, they reunite in avant-garde Irkutsk Siberia. Anton is an orphaned Zaporizhian Cossack secretly adopted by a childless noble couple. He is unaware of his Cossack roots. Anton enters the military and must travel from St. Petersburg to Alaska. His wilderness guide is mysterious Cossack named Ilya. On his way, Anton meets dreamy Nadia and they quickly fall in love. But she is on her way to St. Petersburg. Coincidentally, Ilya is her guide. In St. Petersburg, a family secret is revealed forcing Nadia from noble society. In Alaska, Anton defends two Tlingit Indian friends against Russian aggressors and subjects himself to court martial and expulsion from nobility. Forced from nobility, expelled from civilized society, and separated by thousands of miles: will they reunite; will they find a way of making a living; and are they still in love after three years apart?
