Fascinating article on GC compensation trends. It seems there was once a greater emphasis on succession planning. Now, with soaring signing bonuses, it will be interesting to see how this shift impacts the number two in in-house legal departments. https://lnkd.in/gbnjBZDw #GCCompensation #LegalLeadership #InHouseLegal #SuccessionPlanning

Lighthouse Legal Search Bay Area & California Quarterly Report - July 2024 Based on our data, in this latest quarter, of all lateral partner moves to major law firms in the Bay Area, 25% were in Litigation, 20% in Corporate, 15% in Intellectual Property, 10% in Labor & Employment, and 5% in Health Care. The top firms adding the most partners this quarter were Gordon & Rees LLP, Sideman & Bancroft, LLP, and WilmerHale. Litigation remains the largest growth practice area, reflecting ongoing high demand, while Corporate and Intellectual Property practices continue to expand due to increased activity in mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, and technology transactions. By Contrast: California as a Whole In California as a whole, the breakdown of lateral partner moves is as follows: 23% in Litigation, 12% in Labor & Employment, 9% in Corporate, 8% in Intellectual Property, and 3% in Banking. This broader state-wide trend shows a higher concentration in Litigation and Labor & Employment compared to the Bay Area, while Corporate and Intellectual Property moves are slightly less prominent. This indicates a robust demand for litigation expertise across the state and a significant focus on employment-related legal services. Firms experiencing the most growth in partner additions statewide this quarter are Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, Ogletree Deakins, and Greenberg Traurig LLP. #LegalIndustry #LateralMoves #LawFirmGrowth #BayAreaLaw #CaliforniaLaw #Litigation #CorporateLaw #IntellectualProperty #LaborAndEmployment #HealthCareLaw #PartnerAdditions #LegalRecruitment #LawFirmTrends #LighthouseLegalSearch

This fantastic article by Mimi Lamarre highlights how law firms have extended their vetting process to months, striving for thoroughness in ensuring robust books of business. However, I believe it's crucial to balance this thorough vetting with genuine interest in candidates, ensuring the process doesn't feel like just "kicking the tires." While the article emphasizes the extended hiring timelines, I suggest that the universal lateral partner questionnaire (LPQ) should be adopted by every firm, especially early in the process. It has proven incredibly helpful in expediting the hiring process while demonstrating the candidate's seriousness. By using the universal LPQ initially, firms and candidates can focus on more specific details as they get serious, balancing thoroughness with efficiency. #LegalRecruitment #BigLaw #TalentAcquisition #LateralHiring #LawFirmStrategy #LegalIndustry #VettingProcess #RecruitmentInsights #LegalTrends #LawFirms https://lnkd.in/gvPYnSvi

An interesting article: With new ventures offering comprehensive back-office services, will the future see more mega law firm mergers, or will there be a rise in elite boutiques utilizing such models? I suspect both will evolve side by side. #LegalIndustry #LawFirmTrends #InnovationInLaw https://lnkd.in/g4QYFQgF

Great article today in The American Lawyer! Clients are pushing for more transparency in how law firms allocate origination credits to ensure fair recognition for women and minorities. High-profile legal figures are intervening to direct credits toward deserving, underrepresented attorneys. Tristan Higgins (she/her/hers) discussed this important issue a few years back and it brings me back to our last interview. #LawFirmTransparency #DiversityInLaw #LegalIndustry #WomenInLaw #MinorityLawyers #DEI #LegalNews #AmericanLawyer #JusticeSystem #EquityInLaw
