As law firms look to expand their transactional practices, they're wooing other firms' senior associates and making them partners. Reed Smith and others are focusing their sights on associates at Morgan Lewis & Bockius -- and Dechert has also seen its associate cupboard raided. Why the trend? Reed Smith partner Lori Lasher says it's tough to lure senior corporate partners as lateral hires, so it makes sense to check out firms that have elite corporate practices.

It has become almost a minitrend for senior associates in transactional practices at Morgan Lewis & Bockius to be lured to Reed Smith as partners.
In 2003, the firm brought in ERISA associate John Martini, in 2004 it plucked real estate associate Ajay Raju and now the firm has brought in corporate associate Vincent Capone. All three were eight years out of law school and were among the more senior associates in Morgan Lewis’ Philadelphia office.
