In Hot Lateral Market, Firms Freeze Departing Partners
Ethics & Professional Responsibility Litigation Partner Tyler Maulsby is quoted in the article, “In Hot Lateral Market, Firms Freeze Departing Partners” published by Law360. The article discusses the recent lateral hiring frenzy and ways firms are trying to keep key partners from leaving. Tyler is quoted saying, “We always see these articles about lateral moves increasing, and I think a lot of this is that the firms are responding to that. It's not just single lawyers anymore; entire practice groups leave if you go somewhere else now." Some provisions are leaving departing partners adrift for months or longer with little to do. Tyler says, “Lengthy notice periods can be tantamount to noncompete agreements, which violate the American Bar Association's model rules and cannot be enforced.”

Law.com quoted Holly Melton was quoted in a Law.com in an article discussing the Federal Trade Commission's consideration of a petition to revive the "Click to Cancel" rule. Ms. Melton analyzed the FTC's potential next steps following the rule's invalidation by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. She noted that when Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion in September to settle allegations of deceptive Prime subscription practices, the settlement document included language indicating that any future rulemaking on subscription cancellations would supersede the agreement's provisions. Mr. Melton emphasized that this language "reads like a deliberate placeholder—future-proofing the settlement for the reappearance of click to cancel," suggesting the commission anticipates reviving the rule in some form. She advised that businesses should maintain compliance with the rule's underlying principles, stating that "for advertisers and subscription-based businesses, the path forward is clear: provide transparent disclosures, obtain affirmative consent, and make cancellation as effortless as sign-up."
