OCCUPATION | SOUTH COAST

Lawyers

The South Coast’s large population and diversified economy provide opportunities for law professionals in a variety of legal domains. Lawyers are in a unique position with regard to the future of their profession: Machine learning and other automation technologies promise to aid in routine tasks, yet a significant portion of the work is expected to remain cognition-intensive. At the same time, lawyers enjoy a very high remote work potential—a reality that may impact the region’s concentration of legal professionals over time, particularly if cost-of-living continues to rise.
