Every two weeks, the business development tactics top lawyers use are free at therainmakingmagazine.com

Every year, around bonus and distribution season, law firm partners ask themselves the same question: is it time to make a move?
In this solo cast, Scott Love — legal recruiter with 30+ years in the industry and specialist in corporate and finance partner placements — walks through the 10-category career assessment framework he uses with partners every day. If you've ever wondered whether your current firm is still the right fit, this episode gives you a structured, honest way to think it through.
What you'll learn:
The 10 categories that determine whether a partner should consider a move — from leadership confidence to long-term personal fulfillment
Why most partners leave for one of two reasons — and how to identify which one applies to you
The 1–10 satisfaction scale: what a six or below actually means for your next step
Why "I'm not asking you to leave — I'm asking you to have a 30-minute conversation" is the right frame
The "rule it out, then rule it in" approach to evaluating another firm without overcommitting
How to use a personal journal to track your diligence at each round without losing perspective
Why the most important question isn't which firm pays more — it's which firm is best for your clients
What the LPQ process actually looks like — and how Scott's team helps partners navigate it
