1 in 3 law departments looking to add more lawyers this year
By Jerome Doraisamy|28 January 2021
According to new research, one in three legal departments expect to hire more lawyers and other professionals in 2021, including departments that are intent on sending more work to law firms.
The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) has released its 2021 Chief Legal Officers Survey, which received responses from 947 participants across 44 countries and 21 industries. The report, published in partnership with Exterro, showcased insights into the state of the corporate legal department, including organisational structure, pressing concerns for in-house lawyers, and trends of note following COVID-19.
On the question of whether or not staffing levels in the law department will increase, decrease or remain the same over the course of 2021, most respondents do not anticipate major changes – a surprising result in itself, in the wake of the age of coronavirus.
