A recent Bloomberg Law article highlights a notable trend: Major law firms are scaling back their California hiring efforts as profitability pressures rise. While the Golden State has long been a key legal market, firms are now taking a more selective approach, focusing on roles that align with strategic growth and high-value practice areas. At OpusLex Partners, we’re keeping a close eye on these market shifts to ensure our clients and candidates stay informed and positioned for success. Whether you’re a firm refining your hiring strategy or a legal professional navigating new opportunities, understanding these trends is crucial.

We're not going to sugarcoat it: It's a competitive job market out there. What makes a legal candidate highly marketable? These three things are at the top of the list.?

"When I started OpusLex in 2018, I did not set out to create a scalable firm. I didn't create processes or systems, I was really just focused on being a solo biller and supporting my family. So a lot of that work in terms of mission, vision, values—all of that stuff was part of our planning. This was year five that we were doing this, so for anyone who hasn't done that stuff yet: There's still time to do it." Amanda Brandenburg was recently a guest on The Resilient Recruiter Podcast, where she talked about all things business growth. OpusLex has gone from a team of three to a team of six, and the processes and hiring necessary to make that a reality didn't happen overnight.

How do I know my worth in the marketplace? Here's a bit of a hot take from Amanda Brandenburg: Walking around with a “know your worth” motto can actually be dangerous if it keeps you from being open to the bigger picture and how an opportunity can bring value. So, we always answer this question with the recommendation to flip it on its head so you can decide what the opportunity means to *you.*

Our client, an AmLaw 200 firm in Atlanta, seeks a mid-level litigation associate to join their team. Large law firm experience and products liability and prior deposition experience are preferred. If this seems like a good fit for you, please contact Amanda Brandenburg.
