Lateral Hub is a simple yet powerful concept: a job board for top-tier law firms and lawyers that provides an efficient way to lateral.

The reasons to lateral are compelling: more recognition, better compensation, attractive culture. But without Lateral Hub, lawyers looking to make a lateral move cannot easily see which firms are hiring. Discovering openings requires visiting each law firm’s website, texting former colleagues and classmates, calling a search firm, or even contacting your law school career services office for extra help.

When you finally find the opportunity that seems perfect, you must perform a series of unnecessary tasks, like typing out your resume again into the online application or creating an account on the firm’s website.

Top-tier firms generally have little success getting quality candidates through their own websites for all the same reasons that candidates find it difficult to identify job openings. Law firms rely on expensive search firms to identify candidates, eating away at the firm’s resources and recruiting budget.
