Go north or move in-house
Personal injury, commercial property and commercial litigation solicitors with at least five years’ experience are in demand in the north, according to recruitment firm Badenoch & Clark.
Guy Emmerson, operations director, legal, said there were also “numerous opportunities” for residential property solicitors and specialists in clinical negligence and industrial disease.
In-house lawyer roles are also on the rise.
Emmerson said: “We have seen an increase in demand for in-house employment lawyers across all sectors, with firms looking to hire specialists in both contentious and non-contentious areas as a result of increased workload, particularly within the technology and retail space. This is good news for those in private practice who have previously found it a challenge to move in-house.”
