We value lawyers with prior work experience. Their experiences, skills and knowledge add to the rich and dynamic culture of Morgan Lewis and contribute directly to our ability to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
We recruit lateral lawyers into specific practice groups and offices. Search for available positions at Morgan Lewis by location or practice group.
We also recognize that making a transition to a new law firm can be challenging and at times even overwhelming. We put significant time and effort into making lateral lawyers feel comfortable in our environment.
To integrate lateral lawyers quickly and effectively, a lateral attorney's first day of employment generally includes orientation sessions and a lunch with other lawyers from the same practice group. One-on-one or group sessions are scheduled with various office representatives to acquire essential knowledge of daily operations—such as computer software, time reporting procedures, and associate policies—to help attorneys be immediately productive.
Practice group leaders assign mentors within the first month of employment and continue to monitor progress closely to ensure a smooth transition to Morgan Lewis.
