Accurately and rapidly assessing which talent to retain is mission critical for legal employers right now. The NALP Foundation’s Associate Attrition May 20 webinar highlighted data from our newest study on associate departures and hiring for Calendar Year 2024, contextualized this against the last 15+ years’ data, and provided insights on associates’ destinations, tenure, regional differences, and new detailed data by firm size, including new statistics and analysis specific to firms of 501-1,000 attorneys and more than 1,000 attorneys.
 
During this webinar, Fiona Trevelyan Hornblower, President and CEO, and Jennifer C. Mandery, Vice President for Research, discussed:
 
Entry-level and lateral hiring;
Attrition data by race and ethnicity, gender identity, firm size, geographic region, and departure date;
Primary jobs/departure destinations;
Top reasons that associates leave firms;
Timing on when associates obtained their firm positions (1L, 2L, 3L, or after graduation);
Rehire information and “boomerang” associate data;
Wanted vs. unwanted associate departure data;
Departures to work at competitor or peer firms; and
The continuing impact of the COVID-19 crisis on associate attrition.
 
NEW -- This year's study also explores career-related shifts to education and government, and the desire for remote or flexible work arrangements as reasons for associate departures.
