Talent retention in legal industry


AFTER finishing law school in the 1990s, I sought out a law firm for my pupillage and to my delight, found one where I could leave by 6pm. It seemed too good to be true, especially since most of my peers at other firms worked long hours, with many staying past midnight.

After all, lawyers work long hours because tight deadlines and high stakes demand precision and attention to detail.
