As mentioned in our Legal In-House Financial Services H1 2021 Market Overview, from the beginning of last year and moving through to summer time, we witnessed a steady rise in hiring across financial services. Whilst many clients and candidates had held off from hiring or switching jobs in 2020, things noticeably began to change quite rapidly last year, especially in H2.​

In this Market Overview, we provide insight on the hiring trends we have witnessed in H2 2021, with respect to our clients’ demands for certain types of lawyers and at what level, as well as noticeable areas of interest for candidates. We have also laid out our most up to date salaries and bonuses benchmarking guide.
