Brenna Martin’s dad has been at it for 13 years. He gave a new twist to the old standby of giving his highschool graduate a copy of Dr. Seuss’s “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” He’s been secretly requesting her teachers write comments and affirmations on the pages of the book, in preparation for her high school graduation.

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 [...]
