JMC Legal said there are currently 2,680 vacancies for lawyers, a 14 per cent rise on the previous year, with an even larger 58 per cent rise in in-house openings at non-law firm businesses, The Sunday Times reports.
Clifford Chance is said to have more openings than any other firm, with 130 vacancies, while Simmons & Simmons has around 80. PwC Legal has 93 vacancies, more than quadruple what it had last year.
