The landscape of legal recruitment saw a notable change in 2024, as firms reversed a two-year trend of declining hiring. According to the latest data provided by the NALP Foundation, law firms reported hiring 6,092 associates in 2024, marking a significant increase from the 5,236 hires reported in 2023. The uptick in recruitment suggests a renewed confidence within the industry and may reflect broader economic trends that are impacting hiring practices within law firms.
