Young lawyers feel so strongly about remote work that 44% of them would leave their current jobs for a greater ability to work remotely elsewhere, according to a new report released this week by the ABA. By comparison, only 13% of lawyers practicing for 41 years or longer reported they would do so. The report, Where Does the Legal Profession Go from Here?, is based on input from nearly 2,000 ABA members who responded to a survey in May and June about how they are practicing today and what they expect from their employers and careers in the future. It also includes respondent’s views on stress; diversity, equity and inclusion; lawyer mobility; technology; and best practices for recruiting and retaining diverse lawyers. Read more about the findings from the ABA Journal. Another study from legal tech company BigHand found that 55% of respondents said they would look for a new job if required to work more than three days in the office. Law.com has that story.
