In 26 instances, law firms hired GCs away from their corporations, particularly those with energy, government and healthcase experience, according to the new Manzama Q2 2015 General Counsel Movement And Activity Report.

The report looks at movements and activities that took place in Q2 (April, May, June) of 2015.

These hires are a good indicator of the types of matters that law firm clients are pursuing, and the practice areas where law firms are seeking new talent. Law firm marketing personnel can examine these areas of the law to see if they offer potential profit.
