In-house legal recruitment market remains strong
The last ten years have witnessed strong growth in demand across the UK and international in-house legal recruitment market. Existing legal teams have been developed and expanded with many new teams created.
While the recent instability in world financial markets has had an effect on the demand for in-house lawyers, there is an ongoing need for lawyers to support specific business areas as well as organisations as a whole. To cut costs, in-house legal functions are tending to reduce the level of support they seek from external counsel and this is underpinning the in-house legal recruitment market.
Barclay Simpson recruits lawyers predominantly into financial institutions such as investment banks, commercial and retail banks, asset managers and hedge funds, insurance groups and private equity/venture capitalists, particularly in London, but also the Middle East and Europe. We work with a wide range of clients, from large global financial institutions with extensive legal teams to small privately owned businesses looking to recruit their first in-house legal advisor. In addition to in-house lawyers, we also provide banking, finance, corporate, regulatory and insurance lawyers for roles in private practice.
We have a wide range of legal opportunities for which existing in-house law or secondment experience is beneficial but not essential.
For more information on the current in-house legal recruitment market, please contact Tracy Brown tb@barclaysimpson.com or Jane Fry jf@barclaysimpson.com for London based roles or Sophie Spencer ss@barclaysimpson.com for Middle East opportunities or telephone on 020 7936 2601. |
