Ranking The Law Firms Lawyers Love
We’re pleased to introduce our list of Most Desirable Firms, along with other insights from our survey of more than 700 attorneys.
As we enter the fall of 2024, the legal industry and lateral market are demonstrating remarkable resilience and adaptability amid ongoing economic challenges.
But even as trends shift, what factors most motivate a lateral move? And which firms most embody these traits?
Above the Law, in partnership with Lateral Link, surveyed more than 700 attorneys this summer for insights into the lateral market.
Survey respondents were asked to share which law firm’s offer they would most want to accept, and why they would find this firm appealing.
Respondents also weighed in on their career goals and how they feel about their own lateral prospects.
