Key Highlights from the Report:

1. The Cost of Non-Commitment: Hiring attorneys who lack long-term dedication can lead to significant financial repercussions. According to the Center for American Progress, replacing an employee can cost between 10% to 30% of their annual salary, a figure that can be even higher in specialized fields like law. Such turnover disrupts client relationships and hampers the firm’s productivity. BCG ATTORNEY SEARCH+1BCG ATTORNEY SEARCH+1
