Recession Proof Recruitment - Unlimited Legal Recruitment Services

Despite the assertion from certain politicians that the age of boom and bust was over (I wonder if Gordon Brown ever regrets saying this?), it is clear that the next few years the economy is in for a bit of a ride, to say the least.     The legal sector always seems to be more quickly affected than others because of its overwhelming connection to the property market in lots of different ways. Our experience of recruitment is that when the property market booms, law firms’ turnovers increase, regardless of whether or not the firm undertakes property work.  Property Market Downturns Do Not Result in Lots of New Candidates There is a property connection in lots of different ways, and in good times recruitment can be very difficult because there are very few staff around looking, and in bad times recruitment works in the opposite way, because anyone good will stay firmly put for fear of losing their job if their new firm gets into difficulty, and anyone who works at a firm that gets into

  The Law Firm M&A Market & PII Update Jonathan Fagan (the writer) was recently invited to attend a round table discussion about the current law firm M&A market, organised by Jonathon Bray Limited , specialists for ABS formations, COLP, COFA outsourcing and risk & compliance, and a company we often recommend to our clients. In attendance were myself (Jonathan Fagan, MD of the Ten Percent Group), Jeff Zindani, MD of Acquira Professional Services, Racheal Eyre of Jonathon Bray Limited, and Gary Horswell, MD of Ntegrity, specialist PII brokers. Summary of the conversation is taken from the Lexology report.
