Talent
Intelligence, Acquisitions + Management
The savviest law firm leaders fully understand they are in the talent business. And as the war for talent intensifies, with lateral moves rising by double-digits year-over-year, law firms are experiencing an equal level of intensity managing all aspects of their human capital.
