With associate turnover rates at record high levels in 2021, the 2022 Early Career Attorney Survey sought to better understand the priorities and desires of the current generation of early career attorneys. Our purpose was to provide law firm and bar association leadership with data so that they may implement changes that will meaningfully attract, retain, and develop the next generation of leaders in law. 

This report is based on the anonymous survey conducted in July 2022 and is comprised of input from attorneys in practice for 70 years or less at firms of all sizes. The survey asked for their experiences with and thoughts on a range of topics, including partnership and long-term career goals, connection and support at work, professional development, communication, billable hour requirements, and compensation.
