Seems credited since you could basically coast for a few months before laetralling, then there’s always a ramp up period after you lateral.

Date: May 22nd, 2018 5:47 PM Author: Adventurous vengeful market reading party As someone who jumped around a lot, this is very credited. I got shit training at my three biglaw firms in 4.5 years. A person can emerge after 4.5 years at one firm with shit training as long as the firm is busy enough that someone can hang around that long churning bills on diligence and copy/paste forms. But it's much more common for firm hoppers because "ramp up" in terms of getting enough hours is one thing. It takes longer to actually having the mid-levels, seniors and service partners convinced that you'll stick around enough to start giving you more responsibility and bothering to correct your mistakes and try to train you. As a lateral that's going to take until you've been staffed on at least 2 or 3 decently large deals, and it will take a while if things aren't crazy busy. And if they are crazy busy then there's even less chance that anyone is going to set aside time to try to invest in the new guy.

Date: May 22nd, 2018 6:15 PM Author: Adventurous vengeful market reading party Mainly drafting and negotiation. I was never in a position where I had to be on a call coming up with arguments off the top of my head live with opposing counsel and with clients on both sides listening and invested in the outcome on the key deal points. The "best" associates in my class at my last firm were definitely doing this, and when I got to inhouse it was a skill a lot my peers felt comfortable with, and I had to build it on the fly. Also just pure reps. Like I haven't done any securities work in years and neither have any of my peers at my inhouse, but all of us were once corporate and securities attorneys. Something came up the other day about a Reg D and my peer was like "let's confirm with the corporate team, but I think it's x because I remember I did a couple deals at the firm..." I was thinking to myself that I would've kind of known what she was talking about 5 years ago when I was fresh from a firm but today she might as well have been speaking gibberish.

Date: May 22nd, 2018 6:19 PM Author: Adventurous vengeful market reading party I mean, none of this is too hard to pick up later, so it's not like you can't recover or anything. But you can tell a difference between people who were good associates and really put in work at their firms and people who didn't, even years afterward. For some inhouse jobs it's a bad thing to be well trained. We hired a guy who came from a super uptight MFH firm and when he had to do higher volume commercial work here he annoyed the shit out of everyone because he couldn't prioritize and turned every tiny issue into WW3 requiring multiple VP approvals for signature.
