CHICAGO LEGAL JOBS

It is no secret that Chicago has one of the most dynamic and booming economies in the country. Being home to many Fortune 500 companies causes it to be the third largest legal city in the nation. The legal market is thriving as the technology sector becomes more prevalent in the area. The city has almost completely recovered from the recession in 2008 and is considered to be more diversified than ever. There is something for everyone as a lawyer can find vacancies in law firms of any size and specialty in the area. While the area has a high quality of life, competition is fierce once you break into the markets. The standards that associates are required to meet mirror what is expected in New York City.

Native Chicagoans are proud of their culture and heritage, and this is shown in recruiting for law firm vacancies. Chicago boasts many top law schools, which makes recruiting from the area all too appealing. However, not being from the city does not necessarily mean you are out of the running. Chicago-based firms say the number one aspect they take into consideration when hiring is personality. They want attorneys with a friendly demeanor who will fit in, and work well with, the other lawyers in the firm.

In addition, having a connection in a firm is not nearly as important as knowing how to approach the firm. Chicago companies feel that it is crucial to understand the culture of each law firm before applying for a job, for each one is proud of its operations for its own reasons. When applying for jobs in the city, firms place high importance on how one reaches out to a specific firm. LawMatch removes this aspect of the hiring process by doing the work for you.
