Re: West Virginia Legal Market
It seems to be in a great spot right now because of energy. At least some of the firms are starting to hire JDs in roles that require them to do nothing but draft title opinions, but nonetheless, firms are still hiring solid numbers of associates. Litigation/transactional appear to be at least average if not above average. There's lots of talk about how the potential/probable cracker near Parkersburg will help lead to good things.ironrenegade21 wrote:Any fresh grads out there with insight into the current market?
I know that several of the firms experienced their most profitable years ever last year, and this year seems like its going to eclipse 2013.
