We are all feeling very sorry for the top 30 law firms which have seen their profits in 2008-9 shrink by 4.5% or £0.5 billion. At CareerBalance our clients, who include many associates and NQs, seem to be feeling the brunt of this. Fewer resources, more hours and more demanding clients are all increasing the pressure on lawyers in the 'wilderness years' between qualification and partnership. With law firm partnership looking less appealing many want to consider other career options - inside and outside the law. That's where we come in. Book a Career Options & Job Search Consultation with us now and we'll let you know how best to take your career forward. Say you saw us on RollonFriday and we'll give you a 10% discount on the cost of the consultation. You can visit our lawyer's page at: http://www.careerbalance.co.uk/solicitors-barristers.php
