👓 2-Month Lookback on the NJ Attorney Hiring Market: (4/24-5/24) They say April showers bring May flowers, but in actuality both months brought ALOT of Litigators new opportunities. Here are 5 key takeaways: ⤵ 📊 The Top 5: A staggering 84% of all Attorney Hires occurred in 5x categorical "practices" in Litigation (47%); L&E (13%); Insurance (12%); T&E (6%); Corporate (6%). In essence, for every 5 openings encountered, at least 4 will be within these areas. 👑 Long Live the King: With an asterisk, Litigation retains its unflinching hold on the crown of market dominance at 47% of all hires. Of course, this is thanks to the wide variety of areas that comprise this bucket, from General Liability and MedMal, to Commercial and White Collar, to Construction and Land Use, and beyond. Opportunities abound, either in your discrete practice area(s) or if looking to pivot into a new litigation field. 🚀 Prepare for Takeoff: Two areas rapidly ascended in demand: Insurance (50% increase to 12% overall) and T&E (100% increase to 6% overall) compared to 2/2024-3/2024. Notably, Insurance is booming, and our desks reflect that as we're covering opportunities in General Liability, Trucking / Automotive, Asbestos, and other Insurance Defense spaces, as well as sophisticated Insurance Coverage openings. Plus, the Insurance field fosters highly-transferrable (and desired) skills, allowing seamless pivots from one Insurance practice to another. 🔥 The Barnburner: L&E continues to cement itself as the 2024 dark horse, emerging from 2023 to sit pretty at No.2 in market demand all year long. L&E opportunities are diverse, both in practice and setting, as traditional L&E Lit and Counsel is being witnessed alongside specialized ERISA and Exec Comp practices at boutiques, midsize firms, and AmLaw outfits alike- with competitive compensation to match. ⏰ No Snoozing Here: As expected, Corporate Practice has awoken from its year-end 2023 slumber with a steady, predictable increase in openings. Now is an excellent time to consider a lateral in Corporate as firms (both AmLaw and otherwise) are hiring en masse while the candidate pool tends to be a bit shallower during the summer months. (maybe because everyone is too busy soaking up sun at the regular pool?) Interested in making a move? Looking to dive into the unposted job market? Just want to chat about the market? Let's connect!

Ordinarily I'd post a periodic market update as we close on Q2, but my colleague Corey Vail Sautner, Esq. did a great job distilling New Jersey numbers. As he noted, insurance positions are booming right now, in both coverage and defense litigation. If you're in ID and not loving your firm, now is definitely the right time to explore the market! We have also seen growth in other sectors, and a lot of demand for partners. My inbox is always open at katie.kopecki@lhh.com if you'd like to discuss the legal market and what it means for you.

FrickTrentLizzio's Partner, Christina Lizzio, Esq., gave birth to a son Ben, a little over a year ago. This welcome change in her personal life brought the need for change in her professional one as well. With that in mind, effective April 15, 2024, Mrs. Lizzio will step down as an active Partner of the firm, while keeping the affiliation as an "Of Counsel" attorney. This simply means that she will not be in the office, or part of the day-to-day operations, but will continue to certify title, and work on legal issues for the firm. While we are sad to see Christina step down, we are excited for this new chapter in her life and thrilled that she will still be an active part of our legal team. We are equally excited to name Truman Smith, Esq., as Partner! Truman joined the firm in 2019, quickly becoming a managing attorney and is well deserving of this honor. I am extremely grateful for the ongoing support and trust that you have given our firm for more than 15 years and we look forward to continuing our relationship with you in our exciting new entity! Very Sincerely , TRACY MCGUIRE FRICK. ESQ. Tracy Frick, Esq.

I am excited to share that I was selected to participate in RPC- law firm's First Year Workshop! It was an incredible experience that provided me with valuable insight into the world of international commercial law. The day started with a presentation from Partner Rathi Thiagamoorthy, who highlighted RPC's impressive work with clients like Google, Meta, and McLaren. I was particularly fascinated by their role in defending Google against Epic Games' anti-competitive claim. Ms Thiagmoorthy also delved into the firm's vision, mission, and work culture, showcasing the diverse areas they cover, including commercial and financial disputes, retail, insurance, regulations, tech, and media. Throughout the workshop, I had the opportunity to interact with RPC trainees Elliott Davis, Rebecca James, Lucas Johncey, and Hannah Kendall. They shared valuable strategies for crafting strong training contract applications. We also participated in an engaging session on Insurance Policy, exploring risk transfer for consumers, and the workings of Lloyd's of London. It improved my knowledge of commercial terms in the insurance landscape. The session then transitioned to RPC's role in insurance litigation, including claims, coverage and recoveries for businesses, insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and financiers. The day concluded with a session on commercial awareness led by William Monaghan and Matthew Ward. They shed light on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues within the commercial landscape and provided a helpful list of resources for further development. To put our newfound insurance knowledge to the test, we were divided into groups and presented with a fictitious case. We acted as advisors to an insurance company facing a claim from their customer. We had to strategise a defence considering various factors: litigation costs, the policy's limit of indemnity (maximum payout), and the customer's reputation. Based on this analysis, we then proposed alternative dispute resolution (ADR) strategies to potentially mediate the case towards a faster and more cost-effective resolution. A huge thank you to RPC for this invaluable opportunity and to everyone who made it such a valuable learning experience!

Not long ago, I embarked on a road trip from Austin, Texas to Orlando, Florida and counted over two-hundred personal injury law firm billboard advertisements along I-10 to the Florida Turnpike. Roofing Contractors had the dubious distinction of landing in second place as we passed each town, followed by Buc-ees which provided needed services - roadside gas and pit stops in a clean, friendly environment. Social Trend Researchers would suggest a variety of reasons for the increasing litigation trend. The fact is, the U.S population has an increased propensity to sue following an accident or a perceived breach of an insurance contract when lawyers can secure litigation funding for in many cases misadventures that benefit law firms and the unregulated litigation funding actors. Tort costs once was a fraction of United States GDP, has increased over three-fold in the past 50 years, now hovering significantly above two percent and expected to continue growing in the near term, further contributing to inflationary premium increases on many P&C lines of business. This is a topic that has flown below the radar far too long and an area that deserves increased State Legislative attention to protect both consumers and businesses already under significant economic pressure. APCIA's Whittle offers an important perspective: Litigation-financing disclosure is crucial. The judicial system would benefit greatly by ensuring the disclosure of third-party litigation financing, which can contribute to higher claims and thereby drive insurance costs up, APCIA's James Whittle says. "Courts are a part of government, not a marketplace. We should know who's involved and why. The courts need to know that to do their jobs," Whittle says.

Mastering the art of litigation-11 Section 15 of The Indian Evidence Act, 1872, deals with situations where there is a question about whether an action was accidental or intentional. This section allows the use of a series of similar occurrences to determine intent. For instance, if someone is accused of deliberately setting their house on fire to claim insurance money, and it’s found that they had a history of insuring different houses, all of which also had fires and insurance claims, this pattern can be used as evidence to suggest that the fires were not accidental but intentional. In a nutshell, it helps in proving intent by showing a consistent pattern of similar actions in the past. Questions:- 1. According to Section 15 of The Indian Evidence Act, 1872, when can the fact that an act formed part of a series of similar occurrences be considered relevant? a) When there is a question of the act being accidental or intentional b) When there is a question of the act being historic or recent c) When there is a question of the act being morally right or wrong d) When there is a question of the act being ethical or unethical 2. In above Illustration why are the facts about A insuring multiple houses and receiving payments relevant? a) To prove A’s generosity b) To show that A had a fire safety record c) To establish that the fires were not accidental d) To demonstrate A’s insurance expertise 3. A is employed to receive money from the debtors of B. It is A’s duty to make entries in a book showing the amounts received by him. He makes an entry showing that on a particular occasion he received less than he really did receive. In this case, the other false entries made by A in the book are relevant to :- a) To show A’s proficiency in record-keeping b) To prove B’s innocence c) To demonstrate A’s mathematical skills d) To determine the intent behind the false entries 4. A is accused of fraudulently delivering to B a counterfeit rupee. The question is, whether the delivery of the rupee was accidental. The facts that, soon before or soon after the delivery to B, A delivered counterfeit rupees to C, D and E are relevant to prove:- a) To show A’s generosity b) To prove B’s innocence c) To establish that the delivery to B was not accidental d) To establish the fact that A is a habitual offender 5. What is the main purpose of Section 15 of The Indian Evidence Act, 1872? a) To determine if an act is ethical or unethical b) To establish the guilt or innocence of the accused c) To determine if an act was accidental or intentional d) To decide the punishment for a crime

Misconceptions about intellectual property (IP) litigation insurance persist in spite of the continued importance of IP to a company’s business. The truth behind those misconceptions show that IP litigation insurance can be a big asset to companies whose value is derived from IP. Read more:
