[W]ith the rise in hiring, I would imagine there will be [an] increase in failed hires, so firms will rush to hire attorneys to fill holes and perhaps not do their proper due diligence on the hiring or properly integrate the hires.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Phil Flora, director of sales at Leopard Solutions, in comments given to the American Lawyer<\/a>, concerning the race to hire attorney talent at Biglaw firms with \u201cgrowth mindsets,\u201d<\/a> which he expects to continue \u201cacross the board\u201d in 2025. According to Flora, who tracks industry hiring, \u201cfailed hires\u201d happen when lateral attorneys leave the new firm almost as quickly as they were hired. Per Leopard\u2019s data, ~6% of lateral partners hired in the last two years have already left their firms for new employment opportunities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
