In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tina Solis discuss:

• Things to consider when moving firms.
• Looking at partnership agreements.
• Big picture things to know when making a lateral move.
• What law firm managers can be doing better to retain talent and keep relationships when someone has left.

Key Takeaways:

• You have an obligation to your clients, not just the other attorneys in your firm.
• Timing is essential in preparing for your move. You want to be aware of where you are in the year-end pay cycle. Depending on the timing, it could add to the complexity.
• People are leaving a bad culture for the money, but they don’t leave a good culture or team just for money. Culture is becoming more and more important in the legal industry.
• When you part amicably, referrals can still come back from those attorneys who do leave.

"If we can keep emotions deescalated, departures tend to go more smoothly for both sides." —  Tina Solis
