Hiring Trend │ Legal and Compliance

There was strong demand for bilingual legal professionals to fill junior to mid-level in-house roles in 2015, and we expect that a continuing shortage of bilingual lawyers in 2016 will increase competition for their services as the year progresses.

Overall, however, replacement hires continue to outnumber new positions in the legal sector. In contrast, regulatory change has caused the creation of new headcount in compliance departments, with demand especially strong in the AML (anti-money-laundering) and surveillance areas.

We anticipate that firms will also continue to strengthen their pipeline of future leaders by hiring and developing junior home grown talent in 2016.
