Legal Recruiters Share The Most In-Demand Practice Areas in the Los Angeles Market

The California market has always been a hotspot for attorneys, due to its sunny weather, plethora of top law firms, and lucrative job prospects. Now that law firms are beginning to recruit again, legal recruiters in Los Angeles - one of the biggest markets in the country - have their hands full. When job candidates are up against other highly-credentialed applicants, having the representation of a well known recruiting firm can make the difference between getting the job and being swept back to the bottom of the resume pile.

The patent market has kept busy even during the worst of the economic downturn, and law firms in California are constantly looking for more patent lawyers. While this market is not as in demand in Los Angeles, a legal recruiter can help attorneys with strong science backgrounds to break into the practice area. For attorneys interested in patent law, they must first and foremost pass the patent bar exam before most law firms will even afford them an interview. While most of the patent market continues to be centered in the Silicon Valley, there will always be some firms in Southern California who also deal with patent work. As the U.S. businesses continue to become more reliant on information-based technology, patent prosecutors and patent litigators are needed who have both a strong legal and science background.

Another area that is in demand is labor and employment. This is a practice group that has also managed to maintain consistent workflow, even during a difficult economy. The reason for this is that in both good times and bad, companies will always seek attorneys who can provide legal counsel regarding their employee benefits, as well as workers' comp and termination disputes. In fact, during a difficult job market, when employers are forced to lay off more workers, companies face higher risk of litigation related to termination disputes. A legal recruiter can be instrumental for informing potential job seekers of all the current openings in labor and employment, and giving advice for how to market themselves to employers, if their previous experience does not immediately translate.

One legal staffing option is the Los Angeles-based legal recruiting firm, BCG Attorney Search. The majority of the legal recruiters on staff in its Los Angeles branch have practiced law at some of the nation's top law firms. They know the ins and outs of the hiring process and will use their expertise as lawyers to make the case for their candidates.
