Criminal Law job opportunities are rising
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.
