What the data show
Sartori & Partners counted 16,920 open roles on law-firm career pages on November 11, 2026, at 218 firms.
By practice, Litigation & Disputes appears in 7.3% of open roles, then Product Liability & Torts in 7.1%.
By city, New York accounts for 5.8% of open roles and Washington, DC 4.0%.
The median posting asks for 3 to 6 years of experience: the bulk of advertised demand is mid-level associates.
Open roles show associate demand; partner hiring is rarely advertised, so the lateral monitors are the better read for partner demand.
