How difficult is it to start cold as a new partner at a new firm? With regard to not having a reliable network to fall back and having to build a new team. Is it an terrible idea? TIA

Depends on the firm. We invest significantly in partner integration to help with building the new hire’s network and getting them working effectively in our environment. I’m currently in the middle of handing work over to a new partner we just hired so that he has some starting base business.

I don’t know how common this sort of behavior is elsewhere.

I’ve known a few partners that were new hires - they’ve almost always brought over their team with them from the former firm. Integration isn’t easy and there’s also pros and cons to this too.

Also is the intent to get former clients /book of business after non compete?
