Bass, Berry & Sims has postponed the start date for its 22 new associates from September to January, citing a professional development strategy to enhance the skills of current junior associates.
Kerry Price, the firm's chief strategy officer, stated the delay is meant to provide existing junior associates with greater experience in transactional matters due to an increase in such work.
Rebecca Glatzer, a recruiter, noted that she doesn't see this move as indicative of a broader trend, highlighting that demand for legal work is rising in the South and Southeast.
The firm plans to offer stipends to the delayed associates, ensuring support during their waiting period before beginning their legal careers.
