Salary guide
In 2025, the legal hiring landscape in Scotland has entered a new phase, defined by greater caution, sharper focus, and strategic intent. Firms are no longer hiring for growth; recruitment is now aligned to business needs. Economic pressures such as persistent inflation, high interest rates, and global slowdowns in deal activity, shape the market.
The most acute challenge is the shortage of mid-level lawyers. While newly qualified talent enters the market in strong numbers, this has not addressed the critical skills gap at the core of many legal teams.
Hiring demand remains especially strong in commercial real estate, mid-market M&A and private equity, financial services regulation, and private client work focused on high-net-worth individuals.
