CORRECTION, 3/31/13, 2:15 p.m. EDT: The original version of this article incorrectly identified the authors of the previous two Lateral Partner Satisfaction Surveys, in 1996 and 2006. ALI did not assist MLA with the previous two surveys. We regret the error.

More than 80 percent of law firm partners who have changed firms at least once say they would do it again if given the chance, according to survey to be released Monday by legal recruiter Major, Lindsey & Africa and ALM Legal Intelligence, the research arm of ALM Media.
