Integrating Laterals: Get Those New Partners & Associates Up to Speed

June 20, 2007

2-4 pm Eastern   1-3 pm Central   Noon-2 pm Mountain   11 am-1 pm Pacific

Of course, the successful integration of a lateral associate is everyone’s responsibility, but you are often the person responsible for seeing that the firm’s business flows smoothly, effectively and profitably. You can play a key role in the success of laterals — partners and associates. If not done thoughtfully, the potential profit or loss in the integration process is significant. Learn how to develop a roadmap with ideas, approaches and alternatives — and pitfalls to avoid — in exercising administrative leadership in the vital role of successfully integrating lateral hires. In this program, you will learn:

  • Why laterals move to new firms (to understand what you — the new firm — can provide)
  • Steps to take in hiring a lateral
  • Preparations to make in advance of the new person’s arrival at the firm
  • How to market the new person
  • How to supervise the integration with plans, schedules, ideas, oversight and follow-up.
