Law360 – October 20, 2021
In an effort to combat what Tyson & Mendes calls the “year of great resignation,” the civil litigation and insurance defense firm is now allowing attorneys to opt out of their full-time partnerships and instead work hourly on their caseload. The program, which the firm unveiled on Monday, is designed to help attorneys who no longer want to work full-time still take on a meaningful caseload.
Administrative partner Cayce Lynch told Law360 Pulse that the firm launched the hourly employment program in response to research showing a great number of attorneys leaving the legal profession, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
