Legal professionals are loyal and hardworking, according to the Career Lifestyle Survey by recruitment consultancy Robert Walters. Only 30% said they would start looking for a new job after less than three years. This makes legal professionals among the most loyal groups of staff in the UK, ahead of marketing (65% would look elsewhere after three years or less), projects (60%) and IT (52%). They also have longer average working weeks. 42% put in 50 hours per week or more and significantly more than in marketing (21%), HR (25%) or accountancy (30%).
