Latin Lawyer 250 country-by-country – El Salvador

A wave of lateral hires and of growing regionalisation in the Salvadorean legal market made 2013 a year to remember. El Salvador may be small geographically, but it is one of the most important and active legal markets in Central America, and saw a wave of lateral hiring in 2013 which outstripped many, larger countries elsewhere in the region. The dual pressures of increasing regionalisation and years of relatively dismal economic performance have acted on the firms, creating strong focuses on structure, efficiency and talent – with remarkable results.
