This review is from: Executive Reports: How to Get an Edge as a Lawyer - Chairs/Managing Partners From 100 of the Top Firms on Strategies for Success (Paperback)

Having been a partner at Vinson & Elkins for the last 15 years, I can say that this is the best publication I have read for lawyers of all stages and types throughout my career. The report includes excerpts of advice from the leading lawyers of today, from well over 100 of the top firms. A great publication that every lawyer should read.
