While there are a great many career books in the marketplace, those currently available are aimed primarily at non-lawyers, law students just entering the profession, or attorneys wishing to leave law for alternative careers. None addresses in depth the particular needs of experienced attorneys who wish to achieve success in the legal profession either by increasing their marketability to prospective employers or boosting their value within their present organizations. This book meets that need. The Right Moves offers proven strategies for any lawyer to achieve greater career satisfaction and success.
