Revealed: lateral partner hiring doesn’t work

Not surprised by the numbers in fact I thought it would be worse.Fact is very few lawyers have the ability to build and keep practices and then to make them portable. Winning clients and work is the hardest part of the job and as a lateral your ability to do that is really in the spotlight.Building a successful practice at another firm is much much harder than imagined,anyone who has moved offices in their own firm can testify to just how hard it is to build a practice where you are known let alone one where you are unknown.
