Will a bigger firm mean more legal work?

 

I am a mid-level law associate at a medium-sized firm, but I am worried about the low case load I have. Some of my other associate colleagues and I are becoming concerned that the senior partners are not actively developing new business. I’m at an important stage in my career development right now, and want to take on as much work as I can handle. Should I look for opportunities in a bigger firm, where there might be more business development? Or even at a boutique firm, where the work wouldn’t be spread so thin? How can I bulk up my portfolio?
