Litigation Emerges as a Key Growth Area in Lateral Hiring

In a recent article for Bloomberg Law, reporter Mike Vilensky examines how litigation has become a major focus for law firm growth amid continued economic and political uncertainty.

Drawing on insights from industry observers, including Jon Truster, a Partner in our New York office, the piece explores several forces behind the trend - from an uptick in market-related disputes to the increased availability of litigation funding. As Jon notes, funding is enabling more plaintiffs to pursue claims, which in turn is driving demand for lateral talent in high-stakes litigation.

The article also points to mid-size firms using this moment to build competitive litigation practices and differentiate themselves in a crowded market.
