Sabina Lippman on Why Wachtell-Trained Partners Are Among the Most Sought-After Laterals in Big Law
When the Financial Times set out to examine the lateral movement reshaping the top of Big Law, they turned to CenterPeak co-founder Sabina Lippman, and for good reason. Lippman has firsthand experience placing Wachtell-trained partners at leading firms, giving her a ground-level view of what those lawyers bring to the table and why the market responds the way it does.
Her insight is direct: "There's a premium on Wachtell partners at other firms looking to hire — no client is going to complain if you put a Wachtell-trained lawyer in front of them."
That's not analysis from the outside, it's counsel from someone who has navigated these placements at the highest levels of the legal market.
