Sneak Peak at Q3 Staffing Survey
After a long, uncertain summer, it appears that the dam is breaking for the E-Discovery industry. The Cowen Groups Q3 Staffing Report found that 35% of major law firms, and 29% of F500 Corporations, anticipate adding staff by years end. In both sectors, nearly half of respondents worked more hours in Q3 than Q2, 2009 – largely due to additional workflow.
Firms and corporations have realigned their strategy to focus on cautious expansion while simultaneously recognizing that continued reliance on existing staff can create long-term staff burnout and exodus.
