Additionally, it also depends on their experiences within the firm. They don't need to have worked with market leading clients to show that they've done similar work as other firms. In fact, a good portion of Kirkland's associate recruits are from an international small firms that most may not have heard of. This won't always be the case, there are times where lateral hires are required to have come from prestigious firms but if your experience is top tier, and the work you've done is top tier, then why would any firm who wants to make a return on your salary reject you if you can showcase how profitable you are? My best advice is for your friend to leverage agencies like Career Legal in the second year of their TC to discuss potential options for lateral hires. As for the niche seats, more often than not, the skills and knowledge can be seen as transferrable. Ideally, other firms would want more direct experience with a lateral hire, but as we're seeing firms constantly differentiate themselves and focus more on their clients industries to design their departments accordingly, I am sure firms are starting to strike a balance between expecting direct experience and potential ROI on the hire choice.</blockquote>
