The Demand for Legal Talent Is Rising as the World Economy Recovers

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/17/2021 -- Legal recruitment suffered like many other areas of the economy during the pandemic. However, the mid-to-latter part of 2021 has seen a resurgence in opportunities for professionals across the industry. Data released earlier this year showed that the demand for lawyers was increasing significantly with a multitude of new roles available for individuals looking to find a new position. The numbers show a 150% increase in open jobs for lawyers compared to the beginning of the pandemic, a hugely significant shift. The vast majority of these positions were for associates.
