Attorney Placement & Market Intelligence for Litigation-Focused Law Firms
 

Two focused ways to support litigation hiring decisions: targeted attorney recruiting and independent market insight.

Anchor 1

What We’re Seeing in the Market

  • Trial-ready attorneys remain limited across Orange County and LA

  • Mid-level comp trending $135K–$175K depending on practice

  • Hybrid expectations shifting, some firms tightening, others staying flexible

  • Quiet lateral movement among experienced defense attorneys

  • Medical malpractice talent remains limited, particularly at the mid-to-senior level

Most firms aren’t struggling to find candidates, they’re struggling to identify the right  ones and get them to engage.

If you’re hiring and not seeing traction, happy to compare notes.

Built on direct conversations with litigation attorneys across California.
