There was a time when lawyers routinely stayed put at the law firm that hired them, but now it’s far more common for them to make lateral moves. When they do this, there is the fear and expectation that they will take their clients with them. The new hire and their client base can benefit the new firm greatly, but leave the old firm with hard feelings (or worse).
