Interested in working as a law firm attorney but not interested in seeking partnership? Several US law firms are offering attorneys employment as 'career attorneys.' A recent New York Times article examined this model used by several prestigious large US law firms. These people are attorney employees at their firm: they just are not on the partnership track and they are paid less than their prospective partner attorney peers. On the plus side they do not have to worry about 'billable hours' nor substantial, and frequent, long hours. This model is also seen as a means not to outsource attorney work overseas.
