JMC Legal Recruitment

Looking for something different? We’ve got four standout roles, each with its own unique path, focus, and upside.

If that’s you, drop us a message. No pressure, no hard sell, just an informed conversation about what’s out there. 📲 0203 865 2113 📩 info@jmc-legal.com #LegalRecruiter #LegalVacancy #LegalJobs

When choosing a firm, how much does reputation really matter? Once upon a time, joining a Magic Circle or BigLaw firm was the holy grail. Prestige meant everything from opening doors internationally to impressing clients, friends, and even your future self. But is that still the case? 🚪 Lawyers today are more willing to trade brand for balance. 👨👩👧 Regional moves to be closer to family. 🌿 Exits from London for better lifestyles in cities like Manchester, Leeds, or Bristol where you still find high-quality, cutting-edge work without the same intensity. 🕰️ Or simply opting for firms with better hours, clearer career paths, and stronger cultures. So the question is: Does the name above the door still matter like it used to? Have your say below 👇

For most junior lawyers, unless you’ve taken the solicitor apprenticeship route, your window for exploring different areas of law is narrow. With a handful of seats and a ticking clock, you're expected to pick a specialism that could shape your entire legal career. But interests evolve and so does the market. What happens when your chosen area no longer aligns with your skills, lifestyle, or long-term goals? Shifting specialism later can be difficult without advocates inside your law firm willing to back you. So how many lawyers today are practising in areas they’ve quietly outgrown? We want to hear from you, what do you wish you'd known before choosing your specialism? 🗳️ Cast your vote and share your experience (it may just help someone else avoid a misstep.)

'We've lost count of how many times a hiring conversation starts the same way. “We're looking for a 6–8 year PQE solicitor, ideally from a top-tier firm, strong on commercial contracts. Must have led on X, Y, and Z.” It’s all very familiar. All very logical. All very… clinical. Fast-forward a few weeks, and more often than not, that same client is sat across the table telling us, “We met someone great. Bit lighter on experience than we wanted, but we just clicked, they’ve got something about them.” Well, that something is soft skills.' Ever wondered how to assess soft skills in an interview?
