Today, the topic of "lawyer mobility" is boring. Twenty-five years ago, when this author began representing lawyers and law firms, the concept of lawyer mobility was novel, if not revolutionary. The norm was for lawyers to begin and end their careers at the same firm, and law firms rarely asked partners to leave.
Today, the pendulum has swung to the other extreme. Lawyers routinely move firms to benefit their careers and provide better services to their clients. In addition, law firms, for good or bad, are run more like businesses (well, sort of) and partners who are perceived as unproductive or whose practices are deemed not to be compatible with their current firms are often asked to leave.
