How to become a managing attorney?

The primary qualifications for getting a job as a managing attorney are a bachelor's degree and a law degree. You also need to pass the bar exam in the state in which you plan to practice. You should expect to work for several years as an associate as you gain experience. This is a relatively rare job posting because most firms choose managing attorneys internally after the partners agree that a person is a good fit. Public job postings usually indicate that the firm had trouble somewhere, such as a significant unexpected departure. Flexibility and a willingness to adapt to a new company culture are beneficial for getting this job. This is a senior career position in which you help oversee an entire law firm. Consider improving your management skills before applying for it.
