I was the female associate who began looking for a more stable job, and my prospective boss handled it the way you're proposing ("she’ll need to talk to the managing attorney in her firm, ... and have them call us"). Instead of a respected professional, I felt like a child caught between two parents without any right to decide for myself. It seemed so paternalistic to me then, and still does now. Take comfort in the fact that YOU didn't seek her out, so you're not "sharking" other firms' associates ... she's leaving her former employer of her own accord. She found you, and you should take it as a compliment that you are more compatible for this up-and-comer. Don't miss-out on a good opportunity to add a valuable member to your RosenLaw family.
