Our firm is looking for some help, an associate with 2-5 years of experience. We and everyone else. The 2-5 year cohort is hot right now as is the 3-6 group.

Many firms with improving businesses are suffering from not having hired enough new lawyers during the post-2008 slump. Others have embraced the reality that client demands and efficiency concerns have made the old Cravath model, where firms hire in new lawyers and train and socialize them in the ways and protocols of law and lawyering, unworkable and unaffordable. In a time of razor-thin profits and tight competition, few have the luxury of running a legal graduate school.
