IBA: Young lawyers' survey

Researchers are looking for ways to bridge the generation gap between older and younger lawyers

The International Bar Association’s (IBA) young lawyers’ committee launched a survey last week on the priorities and concerns of young lawyers across the globe, and what factors cause them to move jobs.

IBA President, Horacio Bernardes Neto, said: ‘Young lawyers’ experiences in the early years of their careers undoubtedly plays a role in their future, not only in the workplace but in the sector they choose.’ The anonymous Young Lawyers Survey, open to legal professionals aged 40 or under, is at: www.ibanet.org/LPRU/Young-lawyers-survey.aspx.
