6th year litigation associate with a lateral offer in hand. Would love any advice on details I should confirm before accepting? I was already thinking year end bonus match without hour requirement and confirm earliest year of eligibility for partner consideration.

Ask for that signing bonus!!

Don’t just confirm earliest year of eligibility, ask for examples of partners who were mid/senior laterals in. Ask to speak to more people who work there to get more perspectives. The people you interview with are hand-picked.
