According to the Law Society of South Africa (LSSA) Annual Report, there are currently 33,929 practising attorneys and 6,294 candidate attorneys registered nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This demand changes with social and economic factors. Economic growth raises the need for corporate and commercial lawyers. Urbanisation increases demand for lawyers in major cities. Technological advances and new regulations also affect the need for legal services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand also varies by region. Urban areas, with dense populations and complex economies, require more diverse legal services.
