Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
[When
someone
is
promoted
to
partner]
they
immediately
start
getting
a
lot
more
calls
just
by
virtue
of
the
title.
When
firms
have
their
eye
on
somebody,
they
aren’t
deterred
if
the
person
made
partner
a
few
months
ago.
The
promotion
is
seen
as
an
endorsement
and
it’s
still
open
season.
—
Dan
Binstock,
a
recruiter
and
partner
at
Washington,
D.C.-based
Garrison,
in
comments
given
to
the
American
Lawyer,
concerning
the
demand
for
new
partners,
even
if
they’re
recently
promoted.
All
partners,
even
those
who
are
new
to
the
role,
may
be
considered
“ripe”
for
recruitment
in
Biglaw’s
“free-agency
era.”
