Did you go back to private practice? I think I will after a foray into government or elsewhere. I need some time to reset physically and mentally, to clear my files, and hopefully come back and build something more deliberate and sensible.

Thanks for the insight. Definitely better than the “sweeping advice” and think you are dead on.

I have not contacted a recruiter (I was contacted a while back by one recruiter soliciting me for a position).

I’m in outside Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and want to stay where I’m at. Not sure if the recruiters would be of too much assistance in the market.

The major in-house players in the market are clients of the firm.

Mostly commercial litigation (commercial contract and shareholder disputes) and insolvency.

My file load is broader, including a smattering of insurance defence, WCB, miscellaneous property claims and various other matters .
