I made partner but miss doing litigation. What now?

You were built for the fight in the courtroom, and making partner pulled you out of it. Now you chase business and manage associates. It can feel like a demotion dressed up as a promotion, trading the work you mastered for work you never wanted. See what the new role really is. You are no longer just one lawyer winning one case. You are shaping which cases get fought and which young attorneys become the litigators you were. That is its own kind of craft, and it outlasts any single verdict. You do not have to give up the courtroom completely. Keep one case a year that is yours to try. Guard it. It will keep your edge sharp and remind you, and everyone around you, that you still know how to win.
