In the final episode of Season 2, Sam is joined by his business partner, Sarah Wilson, Co-Director of Chisholm Clarke. While Sam typically interviews legal professionals, Sarah brings a fresh perspective from her experience in legal search. Although early in her career, Sarah has quickly made her mark after spending nearly two and a half years at a global recruitment agency and becoming her own boss in January this year.

‍

In this episode, Sam and Sarah delve into the 2024 legal market, sharing valuable insights on trends, salary expectations, common challenges and solutions and what lawyers may see in the coming months. They also touch on advice for young, ambitious lawyers navigating the evolving landscape, and provide guidance on how to thrive in a competitive market.

‍

They spotlight on general salary trends for lawyers, but for more specific detail - here is a breakdown below. Salaries vary by region, firm type, level and practice area. Larger firms often offer structured benefits to more senior lawyers, while smaller and medium-sized firms balance competitive packages with a focus on work-life balance and flexibility.
