[QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4696842, member: 55"]
People keep saying that, but why is that in the XII's interest?  Let's take a different example.  I've decided it will be good for my firm to hire two more litigation partners (notwithstanding that I hate litigators).  One of them is immediately available and would bring value to my firm.  I have a second one identified who I'm also convinced would bring value, maybe even more than the first, but he's waiting to see if his current firm gives him a big raise and keeps getting stalled when he tries to get an answer.  And he keeps stalling me.  I also have a backup plan if this second partner won't join me, but the backup plan wouldn't be nearly as valuable as either of the first two options, and maybe I need to do more diligence and make sure I want him.

O.K., now since I'm slow, please explain to me why the uncertainty as to whether I can get the second litigator (and what I would do if the second turns me down) would keep me from hiring the first immediately, since the first one would add value today?
