Lateral Hire

Joining us is an exciting step in your career.

We appreciate any move may also bring feelings of uncertainty. When considering a lateral move, you need reassurance that your new firm will be the right fit for you. You can be confident that we are committed to making your career with us a success.

We have a formalised team structure, to ensure work is fairly allocated according to expertise and capacity. We will also ensure that you have an interesting and varied caseload and are given plenty of support in business development endeavours, to grow your portfolio of work.

We have several attorneys who made lateral moves to our firm, ranging from senior attorneys joining as partners, to newly-qualified associates who have grown with us and have now progressed to the partner level.
