HAYS LEGAL<br />
<strong>KEY</strong> <strong>MOVES</strong><br />
Welcome <strong>to</strong> the latest edition of <strong>Hays</strong> Legal’s<br />
Key Moves report, our quarterly bulletin<br />
which summarises the most significant legal<br />
appointments made across the UK legal market<br />
place over recent months.<br />
Yvonne Smyth<br />
Managing Direc<strong>to</strong>r, <strong>Hays</strong> Legal<br />
The last few months have seen a significant uplift in activity<br />
at the senior end of the profession with a number of mergers,<br />
team moves, reorganisation of management teams, partner<br />
promotions and overseas transfers all being announced. Add<br />
in<strong>to</strong> the mix the odd legal expenses scandal and all in all we<br />
are seeing a pretty active senior market. Law firms continue<br />
<strong>to</strong> look <strong>to</strong> position themselves <strong>to</strong> take full advantage of the<br />
opportunities presented by a more confident and settled<br />
economic landscape and management teams are most<br />
definitely on the look out for talent.<br />
I hope that you find this summary a useful reference <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>to</strong><br />
track the key moves which have taken place primarily in the<br />
private practice market.<br />
For further information on how we can assist you with your<br />
hiring needs, or for a career consultation in absolute confidence,<br />
please contact Yvonne Smyth, Alison Pendle<strong>to</strong>n, Oliver Gibbon<br />
or Adele Callaghan or visit our website hays.co.uk/legal.<br />
