EMPLOYMENT
Employment lateral moves are driven by subspecialty depth — generalists are rarely what firms are looking for.
The employment lateral market is smaller than transactional practices but consistently active. Firms tend to hire into specific needs — executive compensation, ERISA, wage and hour defence, discrimination work. Washington DC has a particularly active employment lateral market, given the intersection with regulatory, government contracts, and federal agency work.
A short, confidential conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Reach out and we'll take it from there.
CONFIDENTIALITY COMMITMENT
Your current employer will never be contacted. Your name goes nowhere without your permission. You can stop the process at any point.
WHAT FIRMS TYPICALLY LOOK FOR
Subspecialty
Executive comp, ERISA, discrimination, wage & hour, traditional labour.
Litigation vs advisory
Many practices split between contentious and advisory — firms have a preference.
Level
Associates 2–5 years most active. Partner moves require clear portability.
Market
Washington DC, New York, and Chicago most active.
