Partner & Practice Group Acquisition: A Primer on Management & Administrative Practices

Susan G. Manch, NALP, 2004

“Hiring a partner is like adopting a full-grown dog,” according to author Susan Manch. “They come to the firm with fully formed personalities, habits, and ways of interacting with others. . . .”

This 64-page book addresses both the process of hiring one partner laterally and the process of acquiring a group of partners. Succinct advice is provided on every stage of the process: strategic and cultural planning for the acquisition; choosing a team to oversee the process; selection criteria; where to look for candidates; all aspects of the interview process; selling the firm; announcing the decision within and outside of the firm; orientation issues; and more.

Sample forms and policies provide added tools for the partner acquisition process.
