Law Firms To Hire In Next 12 Months

Attorneys were asked if they expected the number of lawyers in their legal departments or law firms to increase or decrease over the next year. They were also asked to predict which areas will expand over the next year.

According to an April 26 PRNewswire press release, "47% of attorneys polled said they plan to hire personnel in the next 12 months; just 2% of respondents anticipate staff reductions."


Among the hot practice areas predicted to grow the most over the next 12 months are litigation, corporate governance, and intellectual property. Robert Half Legal, the company that created the survey, is a legal staffing specialist. The actual research was done by an independent firm, and researchers only questioned attorneys who had been practicing for a minimum of three years.

"Litigation activity—from labor and employment disputes to contract issues and patent and copyright protection—is creating demand for tenured attorneys with relevant case experience and successful track records," Charles Volkert, Executive Director of Robert Half Legal, said in the press release. "Litigation occurs in every industry and is a practice area that continually produces a significant volume of work. Because case demands vary, however, law firms often supplement their full-time staff with project professionals to meet peak workloads."

He also said that "as companies expand into overseas markets and enter into partnerships on a global scale, they'll look to outside counsel for advice on operating within a foreign locale's regulatory framework as well as for guidance on how to minimize risk while making the most of new business opportunities."
