In an interview with Law360, Michelle Fivel, Co-Founder of Hatch Henderson Fivel, shares valuable insights on the latest lateral hiring trends. She pointed out that there is a link between M&A activity and hiring: “When M&A is hot, that's when law firms are doing a lot of hiring.” Michelle also notes that this connection extends beyond transactional practices, highlighting that M&A is “the engine of the biggest firms and dramatically impacts law firm management's mentality and optimism about where the near future is going," an impact that creates a ripple effect of optimism throughout law firm management regarding future staffing needs. ? Michelle also notes that despite possible uncertainties given the upcoming U.S. presidential election, she remains optimistic about the job market, predicting steady hiring with potential increases closely tied to deal flow. ? Recently, the U.S. legal sector saw a positive shift, adding 1,800 jobs in October, following a similar increase in September. While job numbers are still slightly lower than last year, Michelle’s insights highlight the resilience and adaptability of the legal industry. ? As we continue to analyze these trends, Hatch Henderson Fivel looks forward to seeing continued industry growth and are here to support our clients and candidates through these dynamic times. #LegalRecruiting #LawFirmGrowth #BigLaw Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gJJQ2AFq

Hatch Henderson Fivel's partner, Jennifer Henderson speaks with Law360 about non-equity partners and why they might lateral to another firm. A lateral move to a different firm might create new opportunities for advancement for non-equity partners who feel stuck at the non-equity tier in their own firms. However, elevating to equity through a lateral move is not very common.?We do see it sometimes for one of the following reasons:?1) the non-equity partner’s practice/skill set is a strategic need for another firm, and the receiving firm is “recruiting” the partner because of it; 2) the non-equity partner is going to a less prestigious firm, or 3) the nonequity partner has a healthy growing book of business, but their current firm has not caught up with compensation or promotion to equity.?
I enjoyed speaking with Brandon Lowrey at Law360 about?non-equity partner satisfaction.?There has been so much discussion lately around the non-equity partnership tier – which firms have it, which firms don’t, and what that means for those firms and their partners.?The non-equity tier serves as an effective recruiting and retention tool.?I think it is important for firms to be able to promote stellar senior associates, and partnership promotion is key.?Firms that are able to recruit stellar lawyers into non-equity roles (those that might not otherwise be able to join the firm as equity partners) have an advantage attracting junior up and comers. I think that firms implementing the two-tier system just must learn how to strike a balance between paying top-producing partners and retaining up and coming talent (the future “big book” partners) at the non-equity tier.

I was interested to see the results of The American Lawyer's Midlevel Associates Survey. Surveys are always engaging and sort of provocative- after all, some firms win and some lose. Surveys can also be sort of flat, though, if they lack proper context. This article by Dan Roe provides that context. It is a spot on and insightful view into the minds and experiences of these midlevel associates. Dan's perspective can also be helpful to partners and firm leaders in thinking about how to keep these midlevel associates happy.
