It’s a buoyant legal jobs market at the moment. Writing in this week’s NLJ, Chris Ball, head of recruitment at gunnercooke, reports on the top trends in legal recruitment from the move to embrace different ways of working to the increasing importance of law firm culture

Ball writes: ‘It’s vital that law firms put culture at the forefront of the business in order to attract the right people. And there’s an additional challenge for firms which are expanding internationally, such as gunnercooke…Having the right people at the inception of these new offices and having a clear recruitment strategy that can be adapted throughout each region is essential.’
