Remember that a firm will often save money in the long run by using a recruiter, because recruiters will match the attorney with the firm.  This eliminates a lot of attorney turn-over and the costs that result.

This week, we speak about the positive outlook for the California legal market.

It’s true, after two long years of bad news, it appears that the legal market may be turning around.

We’ve noticed “a very strong and rapid uptick in associate hiring” recently, and we couldn’t be happier!
