Legal Recruitment

A young law graduate may find it difficult to get a job all by himself or herself especially when there are other legal professionals in the competition. In today’s competitive age, you need a legal recruitment agency that can search legal vacancies for you. And it is not an ordeal to find a recruitment agency. As soon as you become a law graduate many of the recruitment agencies will call you to offer their services. However, lawyers can themselves access numerous agencies as they are available online. But it is slightly difficult to discern the best out of the rest.

A legal recruitment agency helps you evaluate your credentials and search the best ways to fulfill your objectives. The recruiter suggests how you can improve your resume. He also gives you valuable tips on how you can be a more competitive candidate. Your recruiter should be honest with you because it’s the recruiter, which will direct you to the most appropriate law firms that seek your level of qualification or meet your level of standards. It is very important on your part to describe in detail the information necessary for your application. The recruiter also should be interested in getting more about you. If you do not feel comfortable in dealing with a recruiter or your recruiter shows apathy towards you then it’s better to search for another recruitment agency without wasting much time.

You can consider it as a big plus if your recruiter has many years of experience in this field. But you should still strive to know other information about him such as the name of law firms he has worked with. It is not unethical to ask for the list of firms, whom your recruiter has provided candidates. If the recruiter has been in this service for years then he must possess a list of law firms.

The period of economic slowdown has proved to be very difficult especially for legal sector, where professionals lose out on salary and other fringe benefits. The entry level law graduates have to bear the extra burden of sustaining in a shifting job market besides launching a successful legal career. But now things seem to be settled for good and it’s time to take on the task of making a striking career in law.

In-House Job Vacancies

With the banking and financial sector recovering from the credit crunch, in-house legal professionals are once again in high demand. The opportunities are expanding with everyone from blue chip financial companies to large corporations on a recruiting drive. They are seeking law graduates for litigation, corporate law, employment law, contract law and international law.
Law graduates will find an in-house legal job advantageous. The advantages include the work-life balance, high salary that a large company provides, tremendous growth and other fringe benefits. Each corporation has different options and the nature of responsibilities you’ll be assigned may also differ.

By carefully evaluating the benefits of an in-house career, qualified lawyers can decide whether an in-house career path is suitable for them or not.

Private Practice

Many of the qualified lawyers choose to go for private practice. Depending on their work experience, they start their private practice in a court of law as associates and work alongside more experienced legal professionals. In private practice, the work culture is very different from that of a company. The working hours are long and irregular and the work covers a wide range of aspects. The road to success in private practice is very stressful but the remuneration is fabulous. Most of the lawyers in private practice set their own law firms in the long run or end up with a partnership in existing law firms.

Manchester headquartered BCL Legal – one of the leading legal recruitment consultancies outside London – is bucking the current downturn in both the legal and recruitment sectors by placing a total of 435 lawyers for the year from November 2008 – an increase of 13 on the period 2007/2008. The figure is thanks, in a large part, to the 40% rise in the number of partner level placements that the company has completed within the North West private practice sector.

This impressive growth, in such tough trading conditions, is especially encouraging following the recent news that profits have sunk on average 33% at the region’s law firms (source: Pricewaterhouse Coopers). BCL Legal, which also has offices in Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol and Reading, primarily attributes much of this year’s success to rising confidence in the Insurance, Commercial Litigation, Employment and Personal Injury sectors.

Other key factors include increased numbers of high calibre legal professionals at all levels who have been actively seeking new positions – thanks to redundancies and ongoing job insecurity. As well as clients using the current situation to reassess their recruitment requirements by strategically employing the best possible staff to help drive them forward once the recession comes to an end.

James Batt, Director of BCL Legal, said; ‘Although the figures appear modest on first glance, they are great news as this year has been particularly tough for both the recruitment and legal professions. The results are also encouraging as it shows business confidence is picking up, slowly. There is no doubting that the market is still difficult but most private practice law firms and organisations are now firmly focused on making 2010 a success.
James concluded; ‘Although this year’s performance gives us a solid platform for growth as the economy continues comes out of recession, we are not resting on our laurels as we realise that new challenges will continue to test both us and our clients for the foreseeable future.’

Current BCL Legal clients include; BAE Systems, Ofwat, Pannone, DWF and Hill Dickinson.
