Lateral attorney moves in the first three quarters of 2023 have fallen for the second year in a row, though the volume of lawyer moves continues to significantly outpace 2020 and the years leading up to the pandemic, two recent surveys of the legal hiring market show.
While the frequency of lawyer moves in 2023 has significantly outpaced 2019 and 2020, the heights of 2021 and 2022 remain unmatched. That goes for both partner hiring and lawyer moves more broadly, according to studies by legal recruiter Macrae and hiring due-diligence provider Decipher.
