Town of Marion’s Post

I had an amazing time last week in beautiful Arizona! It’s always great to see my Arizona clients in person and hear about the growth in this market. Key trends I’m hearing in Arizona: 👉RTO: Unlike my home state of CA which is still largely remote, Arizona is very much back in-person. Most in-house teams are in-office 3-4 days a week. 👉Heightened Salary Requests: As cost of living rapidly increases in Arizona, new hires are demanding higher salaries and bigger sign-on bonuses. Most employers haven’t been able to adjust budgets and salary scales fast enough to keep up with demand, leading to unhappy candidates and declined offers. 👉Skill Gaps: Certain legal practice areas are lacking a presence in Arizona and finding talent is very difficult. These include securities, M&A, product counsel, and privacy. As a result, many in-house teams are sending work to outside counsel because they simply cannot find a full-time attorney. 👉Hiring Delays: Arizona is still a small legal market and talent is limited. Most in-house teams take several months to hire or backfill an attorney role. If you’re an Arizona based attorney, I’d love to connect and chat about how we help our clients with these unique challenges! Please feel free to DM or email nbinning@mlaglobal.com.

Did you know that values-driven work can be key to recruiting and retaining the best and the brightest? Even more than money? The 2022 Major, Lindsey & Africa Gen Z Survey shows that, although members of the younger generation value financial stability, they also place a high level of importance on pursuing purpose-driven legal work. Gen Z lawyers want to know what their employers value, how that’s being prioritized, and what investments in people and causes are being made as a result. They want to work in an organization whose values connect with their most important issues and concerns such as the environment and climate change, social justice and equity. Remember, this generation of associates grew up with information at their fingertips and expect to know how their individual work impacts an organization’s larger purpose and the world as a whole. This may put them at odds with the traditional law firm demands for billable hours and personal sacrifice in exchange for career advancement and a big paycheck. How is your firm appealing to this new generation? Is there tension between what they want and what your firm expects from them? #lawjobs #legaljobs #legalrecruiting #probono #publicinterest For more insights into job search strategies, the legal industry, and the California legal job market, follow SeltzerFontaine LLC, and connect with me and ring the 🔔 at Valerie Fontaine.

The way that some people carry on at this time of year, you’d think the world was going to end on 30 June. Assuming it doesn’t, I’ve got a veritable smorgasbord of quality new in-house roles kicking off in FY25. A couple of the legal counsel roles I’m working on in Sydney and Brisbane are so good that I’m tempted to apply myself. Unfortunately, I’m much better at spotting good lawyers than being one, so probably wouldn’t get an interview. Bad news for me, but f*cking brilliant news for you if you’re 3-7 PAE and want a broad in-house role working with great people. Don’t worry if you’re outside that 3-7 range though. From paralegal to director of legal services roles, St. Leger Brockman Legal Recruitment has you covered. And if you’re looking for roles further afield, ARC Legal Recruitment and ACHUMAN CAPITAL should be your first port of call for roles in the Middle East, UK and Ireland. Have a good weekend when you get there. #lawjobs #legalrecruitment #inhouselawyers

Top 5 reasons to consider a career as a court reporter. 1. Requires No College Degree. Court reporting school, community college, or technical school – all costs a fraction of the average 4-year degree. Online classes are also an option. 2. Recession-Proof. As long as there is a legal system, court reporting will be in demand. 3. Flexible Work Schedule. Court reporters are often Independent Contractors so they choose when and how often they work. Because they choose their assignments, they may also choose in-person or remote jobs, allowing them to work from home. 4. Outstanding Salary Potential. Earning $100,000+ is common for those who work on big cases or full time. 5. Rewarding Work. Meaningfulness at work is a top job characteristic that leads to high motivation and high job satisfaction. As the person responsible for preserving the record, court reporting is very fulfilling. And, of course, you get a front-row seat to the most scandalous cases in our court systems. . . . . 🏷 #courtreportercareer #nocollegedegree #affordableeducation #onlinelearning #recessionproofcareer #indemandprofession #flexibleworkschedule #independentcontractor #workfromhomeopportunity #highsalarypotential #careeradvancement #jobsatisfaction #meaningfulwork #recordpreservation #frontrowseat #legalprofession #legalindustry #scandalouscases #courtreporter #courtreporting #courtreporterslife #stenographer #stenography #stenomachine #courtroom #legalsupport #igreels #algorithm #ideporeporters #idepohawaii
