Why Lateral Candidacies Fail

Law360, New York ( June 19, 2015, 10:19 AM EDT) -- According to The American Lawyer, over 2,700 AmLaw 200 law firm partners switched firms last year, representing between 4 and 5 percent of all partners on the AmLaw list. But what about the thousands of other partners who tried but failed to secure offers to switch firms? While no statistics are available on this number, in my decade of experience recruiting partner-level candidates, I have a secret to share: Many, if not most, lateral partner candidacies fail. . . .
