Legal services don’t just support the economy

Legal services don’t just support the economy, they drive it. A new analysis from The Law Society highlights how the legal sector contributes over £60 billion annually to the UK economy, with £5.2 billion in exports alone.

Yet despite this, legal services are often left out of national growth strategies.

In the face of regulatory uncertainty, international competition, and underinvestment in the justice system, the sector urgently needs a seat at the economic policy table. The Law Society is now calling for the government to integrate legal services into its economic planning, making it easier for UK firms to grow, hire, and compete globally.

For legal recruiters, this message is clear: we’re not just hiring talent, we’re fuelling a sector that underpins every part of business and society.

The firms that thrive in 2025 will be those which advocate for the profession and invest in their people.
