Transition Support as Talent Strategy

Explore how law firms are thinking about and approaching offering support to lawyers navigating career transitions. This webinar highlights findings from research conducted in 2025, based on interviews and survey data from 20 - 30 law firms across the market.

As lateral movement has become the norm, rather than the exception, firms are shifting their talent strategy from “grow talent here” to “grow talent while they’re here.” Transition support today is more than just managing exits; it’s about fostering goodwill and creating strong alumni relations.

In this webinar, you’ll hear about:

- What transition support programs typically include

- How coaching and engagement structure shifts based on role, seniority, goals, and other factors

- What separates the most effective programs, and how firms stay connected throughout the process

- How firms define and measure success

As firms develop talent management strategies, deploying effective transition resources can help reinforce trust, demonstrate leadership, maintain their reputation, and establish lasting alumni relationships.

We hope this webinar offers valuable insight into how firms are supporting their lawyers through periods of transition (and beyond). Our goal with this research and webinar was to provide a clearer view of the approaches other firms are taking and to highlight best practices.

Thank you for watching, and an extra special thank you to those of you who participated in the research process.
