Do Canadian firms have any interest in hiring American JDs given the market and that Canadian associates are moving to the US?

I haven’t seen it happen in my region (Montreal), but I suppose that has something to do with the fact that a lot of business here takes place in French.

Can’t speak to the other markets, but I’d assume there would be some interest given how hot the market is.

Yes. I see this in Toronto often. But I suspect it’s practice area and experience dependent.
