North West litigation jobs rise

A report by Vacancysoft has revealed UK litigation lawyer vacancies remain buoyant going into 2022, with vacancies in the North West gaining on London. There were over 900 litigation vacancies in 2021, and this year’s figures suggest recruitment levels are on course to grow 2 per cent year-on-year. London has traditionally offered the most litigation vacancies; however, North West vacancies are currently up 27 per cent on last year. Manchester is helping drive this increase; the city has experienced the fastest growth in the UK in early 2022 as vacancies rose 37 per cent.
