Laterals

Make a change that makes a difference

Considering a lateral move? We welcome lawyers whose practices have outgrown other firms and those seeking new opportunities. Here, you can find a “home” built around people and personal interactions. Our lawyers create strong, collaborative working relationships with each other and with our clients.

We have a proven track record of successfully transitioning laterals and their clients and will make sure you feel fully integrated to the firm from day one.

With a culture that encourages open communication and respect among colleagues, we take pride in working together. That means a solid grounding in principles of respect, cooperation, and teamwork; excellence in client service; uncompromising ethical and professional behavior; and a genuine commitment to the communities that are at the heart of our firm's success.

Our team members find that these meaningful values reflect and integrate with other, more tangible rewards. As a Shumaker lawyer, you will find:

  • A compensation system focused on teamwork, collaboration, initiative, professional contribution, and fairness.
  • An emphasis on meaningful client work, with billing rates that combine the best elements of value for the client and reward for you.
  • A collaborative approach to marketing and staffing that lets you work with top-quality lawyers and share ample opportunities for client experience.

At Shumaker, we pride ourselves on cultivating high morale and enjoyment from the practice of law in a values-driven environment where personal satisfaction, professional excellence, and client service reinforce each other.
