What’s Hot in the Legal World
Twice a year, legal consultant Robert Denney issues a report titled “What’s Hot and What’s Not in the Legal Profession.” In creating his list, he evaluates national and global economic, litigation, and cultural trends. While it’s important to remember that his reports are speculative forecasts, they do provide interesting insight into the ever-adapting legal market.
In his 2008 year-end report, Mr. Denney listed as “Hot” practice areas such as commercial litigation, foreign corrupt practices law, antitrust, federal regulatory law, energy/alternative energy, health care, estate planning, labor/employment, elder law, and intellectual property.
Mr. Denney also includes in his report discussions of hot geographic legal markets, which this year included Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, and Dubai for international markets, and Reno, Las Vegas, and Charlotte, N.C.
