OK, so I have very strong client relationships and manage (or perform) all of the work for many of them, but how do I decide if the business is truly portable? Might I get some of it, all, none? I am not out there asking clients I work with "If I go to another shop, can I count on your hiring me over there?" How do partner level lawyers looking for a potential move handle this? Thanks!

It's a pure judgement call. If it's 1 client it'll be seen as risky, but if it's a few clients then maybe a firm will take the risk assuming each of them have a 50/50 shot of hitting. Few partners truly know for a fact what is portable, which is why track record and a diverse client base is important

Did you bring the client in? If you are just the responsible partner handling the day to day, but not the overall billing partner… don’t count on it. I have never tried it, but I’ve watched it happen, and, based simply on what I’ve seen, they go with you less often than you think they will.
