Every day, people make promises to themselves. They promise to lose weight, bring in more business, improve their trial skills, write a book, learn a new technology, spend more time with family, or finally tackle the project they have postponed for years. For a few weeks, motivation runs high. Calendars fill up. New planners appear. Fresh goals seem exciting. Then reality arrives. Client emergencies happen. Trials get continued. Depositions get scheduled. Travel intervenes. Life gets busy. Within a few weeks, many goals have already been abandoned.

The problem is not ambition. Most professionals have plenty of ambition. The problem is that many people confuse goals with plans. A goal is simply a destination. A plan is the route. Yet too many people spend their time thinking about where they want to go rather than how they will get there. They imagine the result while ignoring the process. They focus on the finish line while neglecting the daily steps required to reach it.

The challenge has always been doing what works consistently enough for results to appear.

For generations, law firm reputation rested on pedigree.

Where you went to school. Who you trained under. Which logo sat on your letterhead. Reputation was earned slowly and spent broadly. Once established, it carried weight long after the original achievement.

That system is quietly eroding.

Today, law firms are increasingly evaluated not by who they are, but by how well they operate inside their clients’ systems. Tech fluency, not pedigree, is becoming the differentiator that determines whether firms are retained, expanded, or quietly phased out.

This shift is not announced. It is not debated openly. It simply shows up in who gets the next call.

Reputation has become contextual.

Job seekers who use artificial-intelligence tools in their searches receive double the job offers of the typical job seeker, creating an increasingly bifurcated job-search market.

ZipRecruiter's latest New Hire Survey, for the second quarter of 2026, found that the median job seeker submitted 16 applications, completed five interviews and received two job offers across five weeks of searching. Workers who used AI tools to apply for jobs saw twice as many offers.

The survey also found that job seekers are encountering AI systems and tools more often in the process, with 35% saying they encountered AI in their interview process, up from 22% at the end of last year.

AI is changing the game for how job applications are submitted and for how successful the submissions are.

Gen Z workers are a lot less interested in a high salary than health benefits and work flexibility, a key distinction for employers who want to hire and retain the newest generation of employees.

Those and other insights come from a survey of 11,000 new or recent high school graduates by the National Society of High School Scholars.

When the surveyed graduates were asked to list which benefits were most important to them, health benefits topped the list at 72%, followed by 62% who said time-off benefits were important. Respondents were able to pick more than one important benefit.

Sixty-two percent said a flexible work schedule was important, followed by 49% who said annual salary was important. Just 13% said they considered remote-work options important, followed by 9% who considered parental leave and 5% who said stock options were important.

Companies that best identify what younger workers value can stand out in hiring and retention.

Atlanta transactional attorneys were in demand in the first quarter of 2026 as firms worked to finish deals begun in late 2025 and prepare for new business expected through the rest of this year, according to local practice leaders and market observers, with one recruiter noting that local firms were under-resourced in their corporate practices.

Raj Nichani of Atlanta recruiting firm RMN Agency said he had seen a level of demand for corporate attorneys this year that didn’t exist in 2025.

“We’re really seeing [corporate] resonate and expect it to pop up now,” he said. “We didn’t see as much of that last year and now we’re really seeing that come to a head.”

“Deals are still getting done notwithstanding this turbulence and all of the risk that you see out there,” said Cal Smith of King & Spalding.

Barnes & Thornburg added a six-lawyer group from Bradley Arant Boult Cummings Thursday that deepens and complements tax and insurance recovery practices in two states and firmwide.

Two partners, Austin Bersinger and Matthew Hall, and senior associate David Sandefer joined the Am Law 100 firm’s insurance recovery group, while partners Jeffrey Luechtefeld, Sean Gannon and John Nail joined its tax practice.

Bersinger, Luechtefeld, Gannon, Nail and Sandefer are based in Atlanta, while Hall is in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The group from Bradley Arant follows a 12-lawyer insurance recovery group that joined in multiple offices earlier this month.

Georgia’s former state solicitor general has rejoined Jones Day as part of what the new partner said is part of a strategy to make the Am Law 50 firm “the appellate leader in Atlanta and beyond.”

Stephen Petrany joined Jones Day—where he previously practiced in its Washington, D.C., office—in the firm’s issues and appeals practice in Atlanta.

He said in an email that his addition is a strategic move by Jones Day, because it is “committed to and has strongly invested in its appellate practice in the Southeast,” which already includes former U.S. attorney and Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice David Nahmias and Jason Burnette, Tory Powell and Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld Bravo.

Also, a former BakerHostetler team leader moves to Nelson Mullins in Houston, and a Haynes & Boone government contracts pro joins Moore & Van Allen.

A vendor email landed in my inbox the other day. Normally I delete these without a second thought. This one stopped me.

It read, “Legal teams often get blamed for slowing things down — even when the real issue is unclear contract ownership.”

I read that line three times not because it was clever marketing copy but because it was true and because I have lived it.

When you own the process, you own every question, every delay, and every handoff that doesn't go smoothly.

I spend my days writing LinkedIn profiles and building personal brands for high-caliber general counsels, CEOs, and board members, as well as advising them on cultivating a strategic network for their next job search or landing a corporate board seat. I see things from many angles of the equation, including the executives and lawyers who want a strong LinkedIn profile presence, but are concerned about who to let into their network.

I want to warn you of an ongoing predatory practice that’s happening, and possibly without you even realizing it.

Extraction is not collaboration.

An NLJ 500-ranked law firm in New Jersey is strengthening its footprint in the Southeast by following an "excellent and high-performing" lawyer to Georgia.

On Monday, Brach Eichler, based in Roseland, New Jersey, opened its new office in Alpharetta, Georgia, located about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Managing member John D. Fanburg explained the firm’s move to the Peach State began when one of its partners, Eric Magnelli, and his family relocated to the Atlanta region one year ago.

“Unlike in some of these moves where law firms will expand to address client needs and client moves and client relocation, we did this really in response to maintaining our relationship with an excellent and high-performing lawyer,” Fanburg said. “We’ll kind of slow-roll it and give him the time, resources, and people to continue to expand his client base, both here in New Jersey and Georgia.”

The firm is building the new office around Magnelli’s practice areas, including labor and employment, environment and land use, and litigation.

“Unlike in some of these moves where law firms will expand to address client needs and client moves and client relocation, we did this really in response to maintaining our relationship with an excellent and high-performing lawyer,” a managing member of the firm said.
