Setting Lateral Partners Up for Success

With lateral hiring continuing to fuel firmwide growth, effective integration has never been more critical. This session will explore practical, proven approaches that help new partners plug in quickly, showcase their strengths and build meaningful early momentum.

 

Our panelists will share strategies their firms are using to accelerate a lateral’s credibility and collaboration—from structured onboarding programs to intentional client introductions, cross-selling pathways and practices that enhance visibility across the partnership. The conversation will also highlight approaches for tracking and reporting integration progress to firm leadership, ensuring transparency, accountability and proactive support in the early months.

 

Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to refine their integration playbooks and support new partner success from day one by fostering trust, visibility and strong internal connections.

Our panel includes:

  • Pascale Bishop, Manager of Attorney Integration, Fisher Phillips

  • Julie Gurney, Senior Director of Practice & Industry Initiatives, Benesch

  • Megan McKeon, Senior Director of Business Development, Clark Hill

 

RSVP today and learn strategies to develop lateral hires into high-performers.
