In a rare group move of law firm professionals, a marketing team at Cooley left for Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in the last month, following a chief marketing officer who made the move in the last year.

In all, the lateral group includes six marketing and communications professionals who transferred between the two law firms. One law firm marketing expert said law firms in general could start seeing more business professional group moves such as this one, describing the team departure as a “harbinger of things to come” in the industry.
