Ensuring a long-term relationship relies on leveraging the competence and capabilities that a lateral brings to the firm. Law firms can distinguish themselves from the pack by supporting and expanding the lateral’s practice and strengths to service his existing clients and attract new ones. Loyalty is bred when a lateral’s unique skill set is combined with a sense of belonging, identity and relationships.
