Lawyers employed at small to medium sized firms with between 4 and 9 years’ experience should see their pay rise by more than the average (6.9 per cent), along with first-year associates at large law firms (6.2 per cent).
‘Multiple job offers’
Charles Volkert, senior district president of Robert Half Legal, commented: ‘Legal professionals with experience in high-demand practice areas and sectors, such as corporate transactional law, real estate and intellectual property, are in short supply and they are receiving multiple job offers.’
Increasing benefits
The report also states that firms are increasing benefits such as remote and flexible working in order to address the importance placed by candidates on work-life balance.
