Law firms make a strong case for rehiring seasoned hands

15 Jun 2026

This is a link-enhanced version of an article that first appeared in The Economic Times.

Article Overview:

The article explores the increasing competition for legal talent and the growing trend of “boomerang hiring” within the legal industry, where law firms are rehiring former lawyers and partners. It highlights how firms are taking a strategic approach to such decisions, evaluating returning professionals based on specific practice requirements and the expertise they bring to the firm. The article also examines how law firms assess potential returnees on a case-by-case basis, rather than adopting a blanket rehiring policy.

Our CHRO, Parul Gupta, shared her perspective. Here’s what she had to say:
