According to recent data, jobs in criminal law are on the rise.  

Data gleaned by our team earlier this month has indicated that the number of jobs in ‘Criminal / Prosecutions’ has gone up by 50% year-on-year and 59% month-on-month, alongside a 31% monthly rise in ‘Criminal’ jobs.

This data comes into fruition in the midst of a tougher government stance on tackling crime, which may have influenced the rise in demand for Criminal Duty, Defence and Prosecution Lawyers.
