28% of lawyers seek career change in 2023

More than a quarter of lawyers have signalled their intention to change jobs this year, according to new research.

A survey conducted by legal recruitment company G2 Legal indicated that 28% of candidates felt they were ‘very likely’ or ‘likely’ to seek a change of job in 2023. When asked if they received an annual salary increase last year, 34% of candidates stated they did not, with only 18% receiving a cost of living increase. This is despite 76% confirming that their employer did undertake an annual salary review process.

Annette Thorpe, managing director of G2 Legal, said: ‘I’m proud that we’ve conducted our first annual salary survey with our candidates. The research has told us that even during a period of economic uncertainty, a proportion of lawyers are still looking for new roles or career progression.'
