Jun. 13, 2008 (The Orange Rag delivered by Newstex) -- It's an old saw that the legal market is recession proof -- in the sense that people may stop buying houses (which is bad news for property lawyers) but there is a corresponding increase in debt recovery and insolvency work. But is there any truth behind this theory?According to the Cowen Group (NASDAQ:COWN) (www.cowengroup.com) a US recruitment consultancy specializing in the legal technology market, the number of litigation support positions are on the rise, and salaries for this market are projected to rise by year end to be in line with the demand for talent.
