😇 How Law Firms use Lawtrades

Once the first port of call for all new lawyers, BigLaw has been failing to attract and retain top talent. A recent study from Reuters surveyed the scope, and revealed that more than 270 associates have left the most profitable firms in New York. It’s not surprising that these trends have transformed just as the U.S. workplace and economy has in 2021-with the bulk of associates leaving for tech related positions. These departures are not stopping as firms are returning in-person. And, the firms that fail to keep up are losing out on the multitude of benefits such as; lower overhead costs, maximized productivity, and an increase in satisfaction across the board.

The biggest hindrance to BigLaw is the institutional bloat that comes alongside traditional hiring practices. Across all industries, hiring practices have evolved and salaries have changed. Right now, freelancers hold a massive portion of the market and comprise an uncharted territory of talent where outputs are directly tied to client success. This new work model holds efficiency & success central to all operations So, it’s not hard to see why BigLaw is craving a better work model.
