Lateral attorneys are an integral part of Schwabe’s culture and success. We seek laterals who desire to build long-term client ‎relationships, provide outstanding legal services and work collaboratively with other Schwabe lawyers. ‎

When you join Schwabe as a lateral attorney, we commit to do everything possible to ensure your ‎smooth transition. Working closely with you, we will develop an individualized integration plan that ‎focuses on your unique strengths and practice development goals. Among other things, we will:

  • Facilitate introductions with lawyers in complementary practice areas
  • Connect you with a liaison and an advisor
  • Provide training in firm technology and practices
  • Cross-sell your practice to existing Schwabe clients
  • Provide the client service and support you need to retain and expand your current client relationships
  • Provide a flexible, hybrid remote and in-office working environment
