LinkedIn data shows that: • There are over 950K total attorneys and paralegal professionals on LinkedIn throughout the United States • The Greater New York City area has the biggest population of lawyers and legal professionals, while Atlanta has the highest per capita demand of any market • Medium, lower-demand markets like Miami, Minneapolis, Seattle and Denver are likely to offer untapped sources of talent • Skills in the area of patent litigation, licensing, and due diligence are most in-demand Overview A world of insights can be gathered from LinkedIn’s 200 million+ members - the world’s largest professional network. LinkedIn recruiter activity and member data can be used to determine supply and demand for legal professionals. A higher demand index means that the average professional in a region is receiving more contact from recruiters than peers in other regions. Which skills are in short supply? Recruiter activity can highlight which skills are in high demand. For legal professionals, our data shows that expertise with skills like Patents, Licensing, Due Diligence, Trademarks, and Mergers is highly sought after on LinkedIn.
