What the film shows
Clears a lateral hire's prior clients and matters against the firm before the offer and day one
Agents read the questionnaire, search the court dockets for matters it left out, search the firm's clients and matters, and lay every prior matter on a career timeline against the firm's. Each overlap is classified under the conflict rules with the screen or consent it needs; the analyst reviews, the General Counsel decides and signs.
