Momentum Intelligence, in partnership with Lawyers Weekly, has just produced the fourth annual Legal Firm of Choice Report, providing an insight into the recruitment market and determining what internal and external factors make lawyers want to switch firms. The Legal Firm of Choice Report also provides insight into the annual Top 25 Attraction Firms ranking, which was revealed last week. 

This content is available exclusively to Lawyers Weekly premium members.
In addition to uncovering key market trends and those employers who are most appealing to external lawyers on a nationwide basis, the report also offers a greater look into the perspective of legal professionals from each state, including which law firms are deemed the most attractive in their area.

 
 

In NSW, the top five attraction firms have been identified as Herbert Smith Freehills, followed by King & Wood Mallesons, HWL Ebsworth, Allens and MinterEllison.
