Harrison's Q&A clip provides insights on what law firms look for when hiring someone from another practice setting or a solo practitioner.
Law firms are concerned about whether the candidate can do the job long-term and work well with others.
They also want to ensure that the candidate can follow their processes and procedures and be managed if needed.
Harrison recommends reviewing the articles and webinars on BCG to learn more about these questions from both the candidate and employer's point of view

What I would recommend doing is reviewing. There's articles on BCG and webinars about each of these questions. But one of the things that's difficult when a law firm will hire someone from another practice setting or their own, someone that's been a solo, is they'll ask, can they do the job? Meaning, are they willing to do things?
Can they do it? You probably can do it. Will you do the job long term? They're gonna be concerned that you may take the skills or not be able to get along with other people and go back to being a solo. They're gonna be concerned that if you've been your own boss, that you may be on to be managed if you can.
Can you do things the way they need them done as opposed to what you've taught yourself? Oh, and do they like you? These questions. I recommend anybody that there's a section on B C G where these are all answered. There's also a section in the employer's section with our answered from the employer's point of view, and so it is important.
I would recommend also looking at the answers that I've done, webinars for employers about those questions and looking at those as well.
