Law Firms Recruiting Business Executives Gain a Competitive Edge

Chair of Olshan’s Corporate/Securities Law Practice Group Mitchell Raab and corporate partner Edward Taibi published an article in Bloomberg Law entitled “Law Firms Recruiting Business Executives Gain a Competitive Edge.” As attorneys who joined Olshan after years of executive and investment firm experience, Mitch and Ed list some collective learnings and experiences in delivering client service. Over the last several years, Olshan has brought on as lateral partners a number of senior legal executives with diverse industry, financial institution and government backgrounds to offer relevant and sophisticated advice, leveraging their in-house operational experience. In the article, Mitch and Ed highlight that whether arriving from a business or in-house role or a more traditional law firm background, counsel that have participated in, and/or helped lead, strategic planning at companies or non-legal firms can uniquely advise companies how to accomplish their objectives—and how to use their networks to do so.
