The doctrine of divisibility is well known in contract law, yet there is little discussion by courts and scholars of reverse divisibility, which involves the recharacterization of two or more facially separate but closely related contracts as a single contract. In "'Reverse Divisibility' and 'Subsequent Modification': Expanding the Scope of Justified Non-Performance in Multiple Contract Situations," Professor Gregory Crespi discusses reverse divisibility and its practical applications. https://lnkd.in/eGG-r3dv

Unveiling the Curtain: Law Firm versus In-House Recruiting Dynamics Navigating the transition from law firm to in-house roles can often feel like deciphering a complex legal document without a key. Dan Binstock's recent post, "LAW FIRM VS. IN-HOUSE RECRUITING - THE KEY DIFFERENCES," illuminates this path with clarity and insight, shedding light on a subject that many legal professionals find perplexing. Binstock's dialogue opens with a universally acknowledged truth within the legal recruitment space: the allure of in-house roles is undeniable. Yet, despite the high interest among lawyers to shift in-house, the journey there seems laden with more questions than answers. Through a conversation with a legal professional from New York City, Binstock dives into the nuances that differentiate in-house from law firm recruiting, highlighting why many find it challenging to engage recruiters specializing in the coveted in-house positions. One might wonder about the disparity in attention from recruiters between those advocating for law firm transitions and those scarce voices guiding towards in-house opportunities. The answer lies not in the lack of interest but in the strategic differences that define these two recruiting realms. In-house roles demand a different set of skills, expectations, and a more nuanced approach to the recruitment process, aspects that Binstock expertly demystifies. At Onward Recruiting, we echo Dan Binstock's insights and recognize the unique challenges and opportunities that come with transitioning from law firm to in-house roles. We believe in empowering legal professionals with knowledge and guidance to navigate this transition smoothly. The decision to move in-house is significant, and the process can often feel like uncharted territory. Yet, with the right insights and support, it is a journey worth embarking on. We encourage legal professionals contemplating this move to reach out. Onward Recruiting is here to illuminate your path, offering expertise and support tailored to your career aspirations. In embracing the complexity of this transition, we see the opportunity for growth, fulfillment, and the chance to redefine one's career on one's own terms. Let's explore this landscape together, with insights from thought leaders like Dan Binstock paving the way. https://lnkd.in/e2pwPHSu #LegalRecruiting #CareerTransition #OnwardRecruiting
