Jones Walker’s new Atlanta office leader says the firm is looking to grow and expand its services after 16 years in the Southeast’s largest metro area and sees some “natural marriages” with existing practice areas that could add new services in the city. But the New Orleans-founded firm also wants to grow in a way that continues to maintain the office’s “collegial” culture, said new office leader William Underwood. Underwood, a partner on the firm’s construction team, began work in early June as head of Jones Walker’s 11-lawyer Atlanta office, where he will oversee its management and “strategic expansion efforts,” the firm said in announcing his new position. . . . #lawfirmgrowth #lateralhiring #jobsearch #revenue #promotion #law #diversityinlaw #realestatelaw #transactionallaw #diversityandinclusion #litigation #flexibility #lawfirms #atlantalawyer #legalrecruiting #AtlantaLegalRecruiters #theRMNagency #legalrecruitingfirm #legalrecruiter #legalrecruiters #legalsearch #atlantalegalrecruiters #atlantalawfirms #biglaw #smalllawfirm #inhousecounsel #associate #partner

Glad to report that CBRE's annual law firm benchmarking survey is now available with a focus on factors such as hybrid work, real estate costs and talent attraction and retention in the legal marketplace. Access our survey at: https://lnkd.in/gCrWDBPM or www.cbre.com/LawFirmSurvey. Key findings include: * The legal industry has been at the forefront of setting office attendance policies requiring in-office work. However, space utilization remains lower than firm leaders prefer.   * Strengthening culture and professional development are driving leaders to prefer higher office attendance.   * Doing more with less is the leading real estate strategy for the legal industry in the post-pandemic era. Thank you research team!! #tenantrepresentation #tenantreponly

While I thoroughly enjoy the perks of remote work, there's something truly invigorating about connecting with our clients and candidates face-to-face. Yesterday, we had a fantastic time in #Boston meetings together! Did you know that in Q1 2023, 20.9% of Boston attorneys were making moves to #inhouse positions, whereas in the Q1 2024, that number dropped to a mere 6.4%? Law Firm laterals are now dominating the market, constituting a whopping 85.4% of Boston's Q1 2024 moves. Among these, the top practice areas were #Litigation (34%), #Corporate (16%), and #IntellectualProperty (11%). Fascinating stuff, right? #LHH #OneLHH #MyJobsMoreFun

The firm's headcount skyrocketed from 3 to 35 employees, necessitating a doubling of office space. This rapid growth is a testament to Birmingham's status as a business and innovation hub.
