Rising Stars THE LEGAL INDUSTRY’S


LAST YEAR THE GENERATION WHO VOWED TO NEVER TRUST ANYONE OVER 30 REACHED AGE 65. Now baby boomers are retiring at the rate of 8,000 per day or more than 300 per hour. Since nearly 70 percent of law fi rm partners are baby boomers, the profession faces the possibility of unprecedented losses that will also include executives, senior support staff , and legal managers. T e old guard is about to hand the reins over to a bright new corps of attorneys who will confront some unforeseen challenges as they shepherd the profession into a new world where diversity will matter more than ever and global divisions and diff erences will matter even less.
