As we finalize our first Quarterly BD Report, I wanted to share insights from the BD hiring activity in Q1 of 2024. Q1 BD Hires: 32 BD professionals were hired across various levels and geographies. 6 of these hires are now the sole BD professionals at their new firms, either as the first BD hire or as replacements. 26 firms contributed to these hires, with one firm bringing on 5 individuals alone. Clearly, the firms that have already embraced the BD function continue to invest in it. The expansion of existing BD teams represents a significant portion of the total hiring within the function. Unsurprisingly, more firms are making their first BD hires given the competitive landscape for deals and the critical need for consistent sourcing and relationship building. I'll share more insights from the report soon. The aim of the report is to provide a snapshot of the current state of BD within the industry and lay the groundwork for monitoring ongoing trends in future editions.

One of the more notable trends we've seen in the 2024 Big Law market is the gravitation of top Am Law firms to Texas. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and Paul Hastings both recently opened up offices in Dallas - their second office launches in the state. With only a few Am Law 25 firms still without a presence in the Lone Star State (one of which has made active efforts to poach talent from competitors in the last few months), the question remains: Has the market become too saturated for the remaining big name players to carve out their niche there? Only time will tell but one thing is certain - this won't be the last we hear about the Big Law market in Texas, specifically as it relates to energy and infrastructure work.

Explaining US worker classification within the context of UK regulations👇🏻 Misclassification can lead to employers facing retrospective taxes, benefit obligations, and potential financial penalties. So let's get into it 💬... It's akin to being categorised as inside or outside IR35. This classification hinges on assessing the working conditions. In the US, everyone shares responsibility.
