What level of detail do you use for conflicts check when lateraling as junior corporate to another firm? A lot of my deals have been same client again and again, just with new transactions. Also, the detail as in hours on a deal, opposing counsel, description of deal, is not something I really remember for everything I’ve worked on. Is this all required for non litigation /corporate move. I suppose I can find detailed reports in my current firm’s filing system. Any insight much appreciated!

List the clients and any relevant entities. Say something relevant like "Provided counsel with regard to potential transaction." If they want more detail, they'll ask for it.

You don't need to put time spent or OC unless it's the firm you're lateralling to.

Do not disclose confidential targets if you can help it. Put deal size/industry instead. List your client only.

It depends how much info they’ll ask for- I’ve been asked for current plus past matters that I can “remember” and have confidential knowledge about; another firm asked for all matters I worked on, which was annoying. Brief description client names and counter parties are important.
