Articles abound about what law firms should do to successfully integrate lateral partners checklists for best practices, descriptions of integration programs, war stories of integrations gone wrong. However, the best transitions and integrations of lateral partners require that the lateral partner realize integration is a two-way street. Successful integration requires not only best practices by the partner’s new firm, but also a willingness by the new partner to be highly proactive in his or her first few days, weeks and months with the new firm.
