South Florida recruiters are seeing a legal market hungry for real estate lawyers, especially at the senior partner level, while corporate M&A, private equity and health care practices are hot, too.

“There are two things that I see as insatiable demand right now — corporate M&A and real estate,” said Joseph Ankus, president and founder of Ankus Consulting Inc. “Real estate, commercial real estate and mergers & acquisitions are the two hottest areas on my desk right now. When there is demand for one there is usually demand for the other. Transactional trends tend to follow each other fairly closely.”
