I have a friend who did this from a V50 where he was a senior associate to a V100. He didn’t really have a book or anything, but he does have a pretty good network. Typically, there has to be a specific need (i.e., not enough partners to service the work) or a firm looking to grow in a certain practice area for this to happen.
He was definitely looking to leave as he was getting screwed over by his former firm re partnership. I don’t know if he used a recruiter or just reached out to a contact himself. I’ve personally only seen non-partners recruited in very niche areas of law. I think this would be unlikely to happen with general litigators, for instance.

It seems like in some practice areas the only way to make partner is to lateral.
