Legal recruitment

2022 challenged the legal industry, with a tight candidate market, a high demand for legal support staff, the change in remote working policies and the introduction of new structures into their firms. While 2021 saw a heavy increase in demand for property law due to the booming property market, this significantly dropped in 2022, as recession-proof practice groups boomed. Consistently in demand, insurance litigation has skyrocketed in 2022 alongside construction, property and family law.
