HAYS LEGAL KEY MOVES

Welcome to Hays Legal Key Moves report, a quarterly bulletin which summarises the most significant appointments made across the UK legal market over recent months. The last 18 months have presented law firms and the wider legal services market with significant challenges, with many law firms restructuring and aligning their practices to meet the challenges and opportunities of a fast changing economic and political landscape. Things have settled in some quarters whilst others still face significant uncertainty ahead. The last few months have seen management teams scouting for talent with a flurry of strategic appointments being announced. I hope that you find this summary a useful reference tool to track the key moves which have taken place primarily in the private practice market.
