Integrating Lateral Hires: How to Choose the Right Candidates and Motivate them to Stay
Course Description:
A recent American Lawyer analysis of 27 top lateral-hiring firms revealed that of the 867 laterals hired from October 2004 through September 2005, 16 percent jumped ship within the first three years.
So, how can you guarantee a lateral hire will be a success? Frankly, you can’t. But you can minimize your risk.

- Implement a lateral hiring program that will attract prime candidates
- Develop a recruiting strategy that will minimize the risk in making lateral hires
- Provide professional staff to help in the lateral’s transition

- Motivate laterals to stay with the firm once you get them in the door
- Monitor the lateral’s progress by mentoring and tracking productivity
- Promote diversity in the workplace and further develop diversity strategies with your lateral hiring program
