Why law's best and brightest are leaving (and what firms must do)

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Mitimes, we unpack the internal levers that help ensure talent retention in the current climate and how technology can better support firms.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Mitimes chief executive Kirsten Rillo, Insource founder Jenn Little, and Superhero Marketing Club founder Hayley Osborne about what we're seeing in the market on the recruitment front and what can be learnt from such trends, the extent to which wellness influences lawyers' decision to leave their employers, how well firm leaders are managing with talent retention at present, and why technology has a significant role to play.

The guests also discuss the key questions that law firms and leaders need to be asking when it comes to improving the worker experience and thus retention rates, including through use of technology, what individual lawyers most want to see from their employers, the practical ways to better utilise technology, what optimal time management and investment of time looks like on such fronts, and whether they are optimistic that firm leaders will recognise the nexus between proper utilisation of new technologies and talent retention.
