In a line of Windex television commercials, a pair of crows jeer and laugh when unsuspecting humans walk face first into their own sliding glass doors, which were a little too clean to be seen. Evelyn Paswall ain’t laughing. The 83-yearold woman is suing Apple for a cool million for not properly marking their trademark see-through glass doors, which resulted in a broken nose.
As her lawyer stated, “Apple wants to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal to the tech crowd. But on the other hand, they have to appreciate the danger that this high-tech modern architecture poses to some people.”
He charges, therefore, that Apple “was negligent … in allowing a clear, see-through glass wall and/or door to exist without proper warning.” Her collision took place December 13, 2011.

Here at BCG we get no small number of inquiries from attorneys who have recently (e.g., within the past year) switched firms but, for a wide variety of reasons, find themselves wanting and/or needing to move again and thus want to resume their job search. The reasons for this most often include the following – sometimes a spouse receives a job offer in another market. Sometimes a group of partners makes an untimely departure, leading to business in your new practice group drying up and you sitting at the mercy of a first-in-first-out policy when the inevitable downsizing occurs. Sometimes the firm turns out not to be quite what you expected in terms of opportunity, professionalism, or personality, and you soon find yourself realizing that you may have [...]
