Law.com recently featured Stris & Maher in its coverage of a growing trend: senior government lawyers increasingly choosing boutique litigation firms over traditional Big Law destinations.
In discussing the unprecedented wave of high-level government talent entering private practice this year, Founding Partner Peter Stris offered insight into why boutiques are especially well-positioned in the current legal climate:
“Boutiques are being ‘opportunistic’ amid the ‘flood of enormously talented people coming out of government,’” Stris said. “[There are] people who had never thought of going to the private sector period, who now are available.”
The article notes that boutiques nationwide are seeing increased interest from former prosecutors and government officials, reflecting the growing appeal of focused, conflict-free practices with the flexibility to handle sensitive or complex matters.
Stris & Maher is pleased to be included in this coverage and to be recognized among the firms attracting exceptional legal talent during this period of transition in the legal market.
