Even though most incoming associates don't make the partnership ranks, and that even partnership does not guarantee lifelong job security, separations are always uncomfortable.

Many firms trying to ease the transition for their displaced associates and partners turn to Counsel On Call to provide outplacement services.

Given our unique position in the legal community and the skills of our attorneys, Counsel On Call is able to provide outplacement services for many of our clients.

Our outplacement specialists work to help attorneys:

• Gain a better understanding of their skill set through career counseling and assessments, Myers Briggs personality tests, and the Highlands Ability Battery.
  
• Explore new opportunities within the legal profession and identify alternatives outside of the profession.
  
• Set new and realistic career expectations and goals.
  
• Develop a strategic plan to pursue new opportunities.
  
• Consider the possibility of contract legal work while they are pursuing a new career.
  
• Develop interviewing techniques and resume writing skills.
