IN THE NEWS

ABA Journal and National Law Journal publish results of Lateral Link surveys. 

In June 2008, Lateral Link conducted two surveys which found that nearly 30% of lawyers are concerned about job security, up from 10% just six months ago. In addition, more than half of respondents indicated that work is slow, with 69% of corporate attorneys reporting a lack of work.  As Lateral Link principal T.J. Duane told the ABAJournal: "The surveys highlight a change in the job market . . . associates need to be more proactive about going out there at their firm and finding work."
