Tennessee-based law firm Bass, Berry & Sims has announced a delay in the start date for its incoming class of associates from September to January 2025. The firm is providing stipends to affected attorneys during this period. The decision, reported by Bloomberg Law, is attributed to an uptick in transactional work, and aims to enhance professional development opportunities for both current and incoming associates. The delay follows a similar trend among other law firms that implemented similar measures during the post-pandemic economic downturn. The firm has offices in Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville and Washington, D.C.
