New York and Miami: moves between the cities

Partners were 20.4% of the lawyers who moved between the two cities, against 27.7% of all lateral moves in the last 12 months.

59.2% of movers joined a firm in the same size class as the one they left: a move between these cities is usually a move between peers, not a change of platform.

For a firm recruiting in Miami, New York is a pool to approach directly, and the reverse holds: candidates who have made this move before show it can be done without losing the practice.
