Happens all the time. Depends on the practice group, your reason for relocation, and your experience. I moved from Regional in Nashville to AM50 in Chicago as a fourth/fifth year in L&E. My partners have commented that they’ve had more success recruiting from regional firms because those attorneys (like me) wanted to prove themselves and worked harder than laterals from more prestigious firms and law students hired right out of law school.
Think it also maybe that associates at regional firms are exposed to more substantial work like depos and motion hearings.
