Job Description
We are now slowly entering an active phase for Newly Qualified (NQ) recruitment and are beginning to see a steady influx of NQ opportunities, particularly within transactional practice areas and US law firms - from elite Cravath-paying firms to mid-market US practices.
Based on previous years, these areas have been in high demand amongst trainees and for lateral hires, for September NQ recruitment. As we get closer to summer, we expect Magic Circle, Top- Tier International and National firms to ramp up their hiring as well.
