Each year at Realm, we carry out in-depth research to better understand the state of the market so that we can effectively advise the law firms we work with.
We're excited to be launching our 2022 annual research. Last year's data, which was featured in publications such as Legal Futures and Legal cheek, revealed that for the first time, flexibility had overtaken pay as the top priority for lawyers looking for a new role
This year, we want your views on the importance you place on factors such as diversity, social responsibility and doing good for the community when choosing an employer.
We then use these insights to advice law firms on what they can do better to ensure their people are as satisfied as possible at work, and championing for positive change across the legal sector
To thank you for your time, we’ll enter you into our prize draw to win one of five £100 vouchers for a retailer of your choice.
