Lawyers’ preference relies on linear career in the same firm, and the lawyers that are not included in firm plans for partnership, are forced to engage in a more boundaryless career. Engaging in boundaryless careers as an option is found to be quite rare, even among highly skilled individuals in different industries. Brousseau, Driver, Eneroth and Larsson (1996) argue that climbers found it very difficult to address career in a different configuration. Protean careers are even more difficult to find: albeit being high-skilled workers, lawyers may lack the flexibility, intrinsic (subjective) reward approach, and whole-life perspective that Hall has pointed out as underlining a protean career approach (Margarida et al., 2018).
