Job vacancies in the legal sector have risen by more than a third in the last year, according to legal recruiter Robert Walters. London, the Midlands and North West all recorded double digit rises. Colin Loth, director of legal recruitment at Robert Walters, says: “This increase is being driven by a number of key macroeconomic influences, with the healing economy, greater access to debt financing and a returning appetite for corporate deal-making all having an impact.”
