We’ve been getting a ton of biglaw refugees lately. Are firms really pushing out their L/E talent during a recession? I would think they’d want to retain their L/E talent as L/E is usually pretty strong during a recession.

It’s a pretty recession resistant practice area. As a former plaintiffs attorney I can tell you individuals are much more likely to sue their employer when they are laid off, let go, downsized etc. Recessions and down swings in the economy inevitably create more pissed off former employees. Workers comp. claims go up as well.

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E.
