“I am a mid-level assistant and have discovered accidentally that a team of partners I work with are in secret early negotiations to leave for another firm. If they do move I’d like to go with them, not least because I’m worried about being left high and dry. Should I approach them discreetly, or sit tight and wait to be asked? Any tips from people who have been in a similar position gratefully received.”
