No. 1 for raw numbers in lateral associate hiring is Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, which had to grapple with the loss of 140 lawyers who left to start a new firm last year. Lewis Brisbois hired 279 lateral associates in 2023, an 'uncharacteristically high' number, according to the firm's managing partner, Greg Katz.
