Each year at Realm, we carry out in-depth research to better understand the state of the market so that we can effectively advise the law firms we work with.
We are pleased to announce the publication of the results of our 2021 research along with our recommendations for law firms in a new report: The Great Talent Shortage: Adapting Your Attraction and Retention Strategies for 2022.
