BCG Attorney Search Reports More Than 3,000 Attorney Jobs, Squashing the
Blow to Legal Jobs Market
BCGAttorney Search reports above 3,000 attorney jobs that still need to filled, squashing
reports that the market is weakening once again.
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2013 -- The latest data released by BCGAttorney Search reports over 3,000
attorney jobs that need to be filled. This comes at a juncture in 2013 when the legal jobs market might seem
wishy-washy, with recent numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics claiming that the legal industry has
lost 3600 jobs in June.
Harrison Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of BCGAttorney Search says, “Though the legal jobs market contains
many weaknesses and temporary jobs for attorneys have shot up, long term employment has not stagnated yet.
Legal jobs are growing, but at a slower rate.”
Additional analyses of the legal jobs data for the Class of 2012 by NALP reveals that 50.7% of employed
graduates obtained a job in private practice. This has been a rise from 49.5% for the Class of 2011 and close to
the 50.9% figure reported for the Class of 2010. An 8% rise has been noted in law firm jobs on a year over year
comparison basis. This is the largest rise since 2009 and shows that the economy has rebounded from its low
point in 2011. Still, it would be hard to deny that something in the legal world is broken. “Nevertheless, legal
jobs are being created and that is positive news,” Barnes affirms.
Interestingly, more lawyers are anticipated to be hired in Arizona, according the State Bar of Arizona’ssurvey
of working attorneys designed to tap into the economics of law practices in the state. Yet, the Arizona State
University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law is working towards creating an “Alumni Law Group,”
which will employ 30 new graduates. Likewise, many U.S. law firms are beefing up their health-care groups by
hiring attorneys who specialize in complex hospital mergers. A huge amount of legal work has also spawned
due to measurable growth in the gaming industry creating more attorney jobs. Finance attorneys in the U.S. are
also busy as casino operators and other gambling and related companies are tapping capital markets in America
to fund expansion.
Overall, BCGAttorney Search claims that new attorney jobs are growing and reports:
More than 200 openings in Florida
About 500 openings in California
About 650 openings in New York and
About 270 openings in Washington, D.C.
