BigLaw is not the only game in town, and anyone with 5-10 years of experience in a specific area of law is likely to be an excellent candidate to join (or start) a smaller law practice, focused on the area in which they have the most experience. Corporate law positions also typically look for candidates with this level of experience, so that's actually the time in a person's career when those positions begin to open up - it's not a time when those doors get closed.
All of this assumes that they want to continue to practice law - if not, there are any number of potential lateral moves that they can make, depending on their specific area of expertise and/or entrepreneurial spirit. It's hardly likely that a large number of lawyers with 5-10 years of experience are finding themselves unemployed or unemployable for an extended period of time. |

Senior Attorney - is usually a 9+ year plus associate. Kept on if they have a particular specialty and is likable. Often have alternate schedules.
Counsel/non Equity Partner - A partner but doesn't share in profits. Has partner sized office.
this could be at your current firm or another firm with the hope of being eventually considered for partner.
