DH GOT THE JOB. On Monday it will be announced that DH is the new managing partner for his office. It apparently came down to him and one other prospect from another office.
It should be interesting to see. He's not an equity partner (yet - lol - so scoff all you want about income partners v equity partners but it was the equity partners' push and current managing partner's suggestion that got him mentioned as a prospect even though he's still at income level albeit rising) but the incoming and outgoing managing partners were both impressed with him as an excellent attorney and administrator. He was instrumental in three cases in three states in the past month (and multiple others over the past number of years) and named as such, he won an important matter yesterday, he was instrumental in bringing in their last two hires (who have been notable assets already), as marketing director he increased attendance at the firm's major marketing/training seminar by tenfold (literally) and it became one of the largest firmwide, he presented well at the interviews, they think he can do the job, he has the support of all the equity partners and most of the income partners and associates in the office and he wants to make much needed changes that the head office would like to see made.
