As competition for lateral talent at law firms reaches new levels of intensity and expense, Baretz+Brunelle has observed firsthand the challenges firms encounter before and after hiring laterals — including recruiting, integrating and retaining promising talent.

Those challenges led to the creation of a first-of-its-kind offering that provides firms with holistic lateral hiring support: B+B’s Talent Intelligence & Analytics practice, headed by Howard Rosenberg.

The Talent Intelligence & Analytics practice provides law firms with detailed, military-grade intelligence reports on prospective lateral hires, allowing for more deeply informed decisions on the strategically important lateral hires to which firms devote significant resources. B+B’s deep expertise in other critical areas — communications, marketing, strategic consulting and NewLaw services – provides value throughout the entire lateral hiring and integration process.
