Leeds Private Practice Salary Survey
This survey is based upon discussions with partners and candidates from many different firms across Leeds, as well as our experience of placed candidates within various firms.
This survey is subject to anomalies created by skills shortages in particular disciplines - pensions lawyers for instance, can usually command a greater salary than other commercial lawyers. Other areas where there is a demand for lawyers at mid-level include commercial litigation, insurance litigation, clinical negligence, insolvency and employment.
