I haven't had this many litigation jobs open in Chicago since pre pandemic. But it's not a litigation heavy city. There are a good mix of big law, full service and litigation boutiques looking right now though.
Lateralling as a first year may be a longer search, but if you have good credentials, I can't imagine you won't find something if you start looking now/this summer.
Happy to chat further about the market! DM me if you have questions.
I can't message you directly, but I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on this. I am looking to lateral to Chicago as well.
Why are you looking at Chicago? That answer may color how receptive the market is to you. It tends to be very protective and hard to break into by people with no connection to a Chicago.
