The report from the Chicago-based Right Profile consultancy concludes that lawyers with ‘higher levels of resilience, empathy, initiative and sociability’ are more likely to leave the law sector than others. Co-founder of Right Profile, Mark Levin, said: ‘The correlation is there, but I don’t know what the answer is. There will, however, always be resilient and social people who stay at firms.’ The findings are based on online assessments taken by 1,432 people.
