New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2022 -- Big Law is currently going through a legal recruitment bonanza thanks to the impact of markets and sectors opening up again in a post-pandemic world. Am Law 200 firms hired more than 8,500 associates in 2021, which represents a 24% increase on the average figures for the previous three years. There is huge demand for legal skill and expertise right now and this has meant that many of the big firms have taken a slightly different approach when it comes to hiring. Under pressure to achieve numbers, some are relaxing credential requirements and this has led to lawyers from smaller competitors being able to take advantage of career development opportunities that may not have existed under different conditions. There simply aren't enough professionals to meet demand via the traditional channels that Big Law firms would normally choose and so talented hires must be sought elsewhere. For example, one Big Law firm hired 200 associates in the first two quarters of 2021 and 63% came from a law school outside the top 14.
