Low leverage -- bad firm choice?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:33 am

I know that higher leverage usually means better financial stability, but lower leverage generally means a more realistic shot at making partner. Is there any reason to be hesitant of low-leverage firms if they aren't showing other signs of financial instability (massive partner/associate exoduses, major line of business drying up)?
