Lawyers are changing law firms at an ever-increasing rate. Regardless of why lawyers change firms, these departures often raise legal and ethical concerns, including questions about the old and new firms’ obligations to clients and to the respective firms. There are also financial issues, ranging from fee disputes to questions about compensation and benefits.
