Overview of Quarter three

Hiring of lawyers remained relatively stable in quarter three. Expansion opportunities within some sectors of the market saw increased hiring, however market uncertainty in some segments meant employers were reluctant to recruit for non-urgent roles.

Lawyers with experience in commercial litigation, industrial relations and construction were in demand.

Outlook for quarter Four

Hiring of lawyers is expected to remain steady during the early stages of quarter four, but is likely to slow down as the holiday season approaches.
