In Melbourne, there has been a spike in demand for property lawyers and conveyancers across all levels of seniority with international migration and investment a driving force behind this demand.
Consequently, there has also been an increase in demand for banking and finance and planning lawyers for large development projects.
There has also been a continuing rise in the demand for corporate and commercial lawyers, and areas such as commercial litigation and insurance law continue to remain steady.
These upward trends in the market for legal services have resulted in some of Australia’s Top 30 law firms producing some of their best financial quarter results in a long while.
