Legal hiring is holding strong, and the competition for standout candidates is intensifying

Legal hiring is holding strong, and the competition for standout candidates is intensifying.

Robert Half’s latest report shows continued demand for legal professionals, especially compliance directors, contract managers, paralegals, and in-house counsel at both 2–3 PQE and 10+ PQE levels. With candidate availability still tight, firms are having to compete on more than just salary—culture, flexibility, and long-term progression are now front and centre.

For recruiters, this is a prime opportunity to offer strategic guidance. Helping clients move quickly, defining a strong value proposition, and offering hybrid or flexible working could be the difference between landing a great hire or losing them to a faster-moving competitor.

And for candidates, this is a rare moment when skills, experience and specialisation give you real control over your career path. The market is listening; make it count.
