Legal recruitment in Merseyside and Cheshire gets busier and busier….

Legal recruitment in Merseyside and Cheshire gets busier and busier….

I recently joined BCL Legal to concentrate on recruiting with private practice firms outside of the city centre. Having looked at the results the trends are certainly positive. We can announce that we have placed 10% more candidates in the first six months of 2012 across Cheshire and Merseyside. We have also registered over 100% more candidates during the same period last year and have now registered a total of 581 legal professionals compared to 258 the year before.

There is no doubt that the demand for solicitors and paralegals within the large insurance teams remains consistently high. However it is great to see an increased need across the commercial, corporate, real estate, commercial litigation and employment sectors. We’ve really tried to raise our profile and that’s reflected in these numbers.

If you are looking to explore new legal jobs in the Merseyside/Cheshire areas do give me a call, I would love to help. We are armed with masses of information including salary surveys and market trends so we can happily discuss the market in more general terms.
