The 118 year old San Francisco law firm Heller Ehrman appears to be close to dissolving. The chairman of the firm explained that the board would vote on whether or not to dissolve the firm today. However, he also said that the vote would be mostly a formality, and that dissolution is imminent.
While large firms such as Heller Ehrman can generally survive both up and down markets, a mixture of several downward trends is leading this firm to dissolution. On September 1, the firm had over 1,200 employees and around 570 lawyers in its employ.
A dissolution such as this can put a great deal of legal professionals out of work. If you are searching for a new legal career, please contact the Texas legal recruiters of Sapire Search at 866.413.2868.

According to one internet-based job search tool, using a hybrid method for finding a job is a great way to avoid some of the uncertainty that the iffy economy has brought on.
The hybrid approach involves using both internet and traditional methods. This means that newspaper job listings should be given attention as well as submitting a resume to a variety of online job sites.
The uncertainty in job security is most pronounced in financial sectors. This is due largely to the volatile market and the home mortgage crisis.
