When we hear the word "recession," typically some panic may kick in. But what does a potential recession mean for the lateral partner market? Gloria Sandrino, Lateral Link Managing Principal and Global Chair of Partner & Group Recruiting, joined our hosts to discuss how a recession might actually present opportunities to partners looking to lateral and to firms seeking new talent. Gloria talks about how firms should think about lateral hiring in relation to big-picture strategy, how firms are preparing for a potential recession by doubling down on office openings in smaller markets, and which practice areas firms are focusing on building in those markets. In keeping with tradition, our hosts—and Gloria—discuss recent office openings by Sidley Austin LLP and Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP. As always, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
