Market overview

In-house opportunities offer highly attractive packages, as well as enabling you to escape the not-so-popular billing and time recording targets. Coupled with seeing the outcome of your legal guidance and advice, working in-house offers a truly rewarding career.

With numerous global companies based in the region, the in-house legal market continues to flourish. However, it’s a fiercely competitive market – particularly at the more senior / General Counsel grades – due to the number of lawyers looking to make the most from private practice or ditch the city commute.

Currently, the NQ – 5 year PQE market is particularly in demand, proving the trend that lawyers move in-house later in their career and there subsequently being fewer lawyers at the mid level to fill these needs.

If you don’t see a vacancy which matches your skill set or preferred location, then please contact Hayley Rose or Chloë to discuss how we can approach our established network on a confidential basis.
