Risk of lateraling right now
Given the economic uncertainty, do you think lawyers (especially foreign trained lawyers) that lateral to a law firm right now will be let go if the market goes south? A lot of friends saying its the wrong move to make even if the money is better.

Re: Risk of lateraling right now
Lawyers are always at risk of being let go if the work dries up. Being a recent lateral won't hurt you much, unless things collapse before you have any time to develop relationships at the new firm.
