ALM, using data from The American Lawyer’s annual February 2004 Lateral Report for most of 2013, reports that partners continued to move quite a bit among the Am Law 200 – the nation’s largest law firms – in the 12 months ended September 30, 2013. The corporate lawyers market was particularly active, accounting for 17 percent of last year’s total, compared to just 8 percent in 2012. Overall lateral hires tallied 2,522, slightly below the prior year’s 2,691, according to the Lateral Report. Baker & McKenzie was the biggest hirer, latching onto 68 lateral partners, followed by Jones Day with 65, Husch Blackwell with 52, K&L Gates with 48, and Reed Smith with 40. From the opposite side as far as firms losing partners, Hogan Lovells led the pack for the same period at 43, followed by K&L Gates at 39, DLA Piper at 37, Dentons at 36, and Norton Rose Fulbright at 35.
