Last year was more of a “talent tornado” than a “Great Resignation” for law firms, according to Fiona Trevelyan Hornblower, president and CEO of the NALP Foundation for Law Career Research and Education. Attrition among law firms in the U.S. and Canada reached a historic average of 26% in 2021—up 10% over 2020—while associate hiring nearly doubled year-over-year, according to NALP’s most recent Update on Associate Attrition.
This extraordinary level of volatility has been disruptive for many legal organizations, spurring some to reassess and bolster their employment retention efforts in 2022. It’s a smart move: We all know that law can be an exceptionally demanding profession even in good times; the additional pressures of the past couple of years have been nothing short of brutal to lawyers and their support teams. Associate burnout is an ongoing challenge, yet work continues to pour in.
