Corporate Lawyers

Outlook

Employment for lawyers is expected to grow by 5 percent from 2023 to 2033, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Job prospects for corporate lawyers should be even better. Robert Half Legal, a national staffing firm, identifies general business/corporate law as an in-demand practice area. "Increasingly, companies are bringing legal work in-house to control costs, creating more opportunities for corporate counsel positions," it explains. "Demand for specialized skills is also driving hiring." The Association of Corporate Counsel reports that there will be strong demand for corporate counsel lawyers with at least three years of experience in transactional, litigation, and regulatory law.
