Three Big Things for the Florida Legal Recruiting Market
Florida has the fourth largest economy in the country and poised to have a boon over the next few years due to many factors. There is a lot of legal work coming down the pike. Strategically recruiting talented lawyers should be on every law firm's agenda for 2022 and 2023.

Law Firm HiringAfter nearly 20 years in law schools in New York City, I made the leap (along with thousands of others) to Florida as of July 2021. As a recent transplant to Florida and working at a law school, my eyes are finely tuned to the Florida legal community as it is and as it is evolving. Apparently, mine are not the only eyes on the Florida legal market as the AmLaw 100 and AmLaw 200 firms have Florida in its sites for expansion. Every week it seems that a big, white-shoe law firm is opening a Florida office. It is also not just large law firms paying attention to the Florida market, but also large consultancies are poised to explode in Florida. Finally, the "big migration" from north to south in the past 18 months has buoyed southern law firms especially in certain areas of the law. Does this mean an influx of attorneys to the Florida legal market? In 2020, Florida had 78,244 licensed attorneys—I would be very interested to know what that number will be in 2022.
