For too long, legal services have been left out of the big economic conversations. That’s finally starting to change.
The UK Government’s latest industrial strategy puts legal services right where they belong, at the heart of the country’s economic growth plans. With the sector contributing over £60 billion a year, it's good to see proper recognition for the value lawyers bring to business, communities, and innovation.
This shift means big things for recruitment, too:
More legal roles opening up across regional cities like Manchester, Leeds and Cardiff
🔸 Increased demand for lawyers who can work with tech and drive change
🔸 Apprenticeship funding to help firms build the next generation of talent
🔸 Growth in in-house legal teams as businesses scale responsibly
For firms looking to grow and professionals ready to take the next step, this is a great time to be part of the legal sector’s evolution.
