Understand what lawyers really want in 2025
The legal talent market is beginning to move again, but cautiously. Our research shows more lawyers are open to new opportunities, yet they’re increasingly selective about the firms they’ll consider.
In this year’s report, we reveal:
· The early signs of a hesitant recovery in the market
· Why flexibility has overtaken pay as the top reason lawyers stay
· The growing role of wellbeing and work-life balance in career decisions
· Why employee engagement is the overlooked retention risk law firms can’t ignore
· The latest salary data across practice areas and regions
