Partners must dig deeper than their junior counterparts when evaluating a lateral move and selecting the best firm for professional success.
In the early years of a lawyer’s career, more money, better training, a preference for a particular type of practice, or enhanced partnership potential are motivating factors.

Partners must look at cross-marketing, firm size, staffing/support, billing models, cultural fit, career goals, and leadership opportunity.
