Tina Solis: Making a Law Firm Move the Smart Way
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 Thank you to our Sponsors!
