Orlando: lateral market monitor

Sartori & Partners data show 57 lateral moves in Orlando from November 2025 to October 2026, 0.4% of all lateral moves we tracked. On settled windows the count went from 49 to 59 (+20.4%), a change inside the noise of the two counts, so we read it as flat.

Associates carry this flow: partners are 19.3% of arrivals, against 27.7% market-wide. 12.3% of movers stepped up a level when they changed firm, against 12.9% for the market.

The 12-month firm table is below our naming threshold, so this part reads the three years to October 2026. Lateral hires in Orlando were spread across 48 firms. The ten firms at the head of the hiring table took 47.8% of arrivals (12.2% market-wide), so hiring here is concentrated. Quintairos Prieto Wood & Boyer ranks first by lateral arrivals, in the 11-20 band.

By practice, Litigation & Disputes comes first, involved in 57.9% of arrivals here (39.9% across the market). 18.2% of movers also changed city, against 20.5% market-wide.

With volume in Orlando holding level, a hire depends on a specific reason to move, which a firm has to put in front of the candidate.
