Report: Talent War Heating Up to 'Boiling Point'

Andrew Maloney

Law firms are paying more for talent than ever before. But like other industries that've been hit by a so-called "Great Resignation," they're also hemorrhaging it like never before, and the result is a diminished return on investment that could reach a "boiling point" in the near future.
