Extremely common? Not in my specialty, anyway. Gov lawyer here, and I've only seen it happen once -- and that was because the line attorney was part of a package deal; he was the service partner who did the work for his bff -- a huge name who brought in clients like a magnet and did little work beyond signing his highly recognizable name on pleadings. Other gov lawyers did leave for firms where they were given the title of partner, but not BigLaw; more like little regional firms you have never heard of, where there are 3-6 partners and you only eat what you kill.

I see it frequently in white collar and antitrust.  It used to be that only people in management or with a truly exceptional reputation lateraled in as partners, but now it seems that someone who leads a few significant cases or investigations can pull it off.  Multiple classmates of mine did it in 8-9 years (for example, biglaw for three years, AUSA for six years).[/quote]

Ok, yeah, I can see it with crim. [/quote]
