Areas Served in the Midwest
Atticus Recruiting proudly serves a diverse array of legal markets throughout the Midwest. While our services extend beyond these areas, we frequently work with top law firms, corporations, and non-profits in cities such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Detroit, and Indianapolis. Each of these markets presents unique opportunities for both candidates and employers, and our deep understanding of the regional legal landscape enables us to provide customized recruitment solutions tailored to the specific needs of each city and its legal community.
- Indianapolis: Known for a steady demand in corporate, health care, and litigation law, Indianapolis offers a growing legal market. However, competition for top talent is increasing, making it a challenge for legal employers to attract and retain skilled attorneys.
- Detroit: With a strong focus on automotive, labor, and bankruptcy law, Detroit’s legal market is recovering post-recession. Challenges include adapting to ongoing changes in the auto industry and addressing talent shortages.
- Cincinnati: Cincinnati’s legal market is diverse, with strong representation in corporate and healthcare law. However, legal employers face challenges with talent retention as attorneys often seek opportunities in larger markets.
- Cleveland: Corporate, healthcare, and intellectual property law dominate Cleveland’s legal scene. Legal employers are finding it increasingly difficult to attract young legal professionals, as many are drawn to larger nearby cities.
- Columbus: As Ohio’s capital and a growing tech hub, Columbus is a hotspot for corporate, intellectual property, and employment law. However, the legal market faces pressure to keep up with the demand for specialized talent.
- St. Louis: The St. Louis market is driven by healthcare, banking, and biotech industries, leading to a strong demand for legal expertise in these areas. However, legal employers face a shortage of talent, particularly in highly specialized practice areas.
- Kansas City, MO: With a strong focus on corporate, real estate, and labor law, Kansas City’s legal market is expanding, but competition for top legal talent is fierce as attorneys often migrate to larger metro areas.
- Minneapolis: Minneapolis has a robust legal market with strengths in corporate law, litigation, and intellectual property. Challenges for employers include competition from neighboring legal markets and an ongoing demand for diversity in legal hiring.
- Des Moines: Known for its insurance and financial services sectors, Des Moines offers opportunities for legal professionals in these industries. The smaller legal market size presents a challenge for candidates seeking specialized roles.
- Kansas City, KS: Kansas City, KS, shares much of its legal market with its Missouri counterpart, with strengths in corporate and labor law. The smaller legal market can make finding the right opportunities more competitive for legal candidates.
