Hello,

2020 has finally drawn to a close, and we hope the new year finds all of you happy and healthy.

Our 2020 Year in Review is highlighted below and thoroughly captures what happened in legal technology staffing, specifically e-discovery and data privacy and protection, over the last twelve months. Our 2021 job market predictions will be out soon, but everyone should expect one thing in 2021: Hiring managers will hire more and hire faster this year. Be prepared for competition for star candidates.

As always, our quarterly newsletter serves as a compendium for all TRU original content—and there was plenty of important content delivered from us to you in Q4 2020. Please follow us on LinkedIn for real-time news and job alert updates and enjoy the TRU Staffing Partners Q1 2021 Newsletter!

Sincerely,

2020 Year in Review

TRU’s Year in Review article was published in Legaltech News in late December. The article addresses how the COVID-19 pandemic radically altered the landscape of the legal technology job market, but not entirely in unanticipated ways. Touching on the resilience of the data privacy job market, the proliferation of contract jobs, and changes to legal technology and our society in general that will never revert to pre-pandemic norms, the piece is a must-read precursor to TRU’s Top 10 Predictions for 2021, coming in early Q1. Read the full article here!
