JP, on the defence side, you always have to look for work. You're at the mercy of insurers and they change personnel, hold beauty contests, grind you for your fees constantly. Schmoozing is continuous and relentless. The one person that ships you work one day may be gone to another insurer the next and if you're not on that insurer's list, then you're SOL. I always tell even the baby lawyers, schmooze schmooze schmooze. You have to build your own client base to give you some security. Just waiting to be fed work from other partners/lawyers etc is the first step to being out the door.
