SUMMARY:Departures and lateral hires of partners
DESCRIPTION:The legal world has been addressing the issues related to the
  mobility of lawyers for many years. The area has been expanding with ma
 ny more lawyers changing firms due to wanting a broader platform\; to th
 e right-sizing of firms\, the merger or other alignments of firms in man
 y jurisdictions and the insolvency or other financial distress of law fi
 rms\, to name just a few reasons. The expectations of lawyers and the bo
 dies regulating lawyers have been changing over time\, and the laws rela
 ting to the duties of lawyers and their new firms have also been changin
 g. Further\, there seem to be differing expectations and rules depending
  on the extent of the development of the Bar and the regulatory framewor
 k of the Bar. Law firms now have multijurisdictions to consider when try
 ing to manage expectations and changing laws in many of these jurisdicti
 ons. The panel will explore the ethical considerations to clients\, supp
 liers\, creditors and employees of the departing firm\, and the role and
  potential liability of the firms to whom the lawyer transitions. This p
 anel will include practitioners and firm leaders who will explore these 
 varied topics during the three-hour panel.
