Listen here: How to Evaluate a Practice Group Before Making a Lateral Move

When you’re making a lateral move, especially as a partner, you may be looking at what the firm offers overall, but in fact your success may depend more on your specific practice group. So it’s important to do your due diligence and really understand how that group works on a day-to-day basis, the competition you’ll face within it, the impact its leadership can have on your compensation and advancement within the firm, and how it can help you advance and drive your own practice forward in the marketplace. Even in top-ranked firms, internal dynamics can make or break your experience and professional growth, so make sure you are asking the right questions before you make your move.
