SALARIES

SALARY LEVELS ARE DEPENDENT ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS...
such as the size of the firm and its location - whether situated within or outside or the major cities, practice area and the quality of the candidate. However here we give typical salary levels in private practice in different disciplines and firms of different sizes.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR SALARY
There are a variety of ways to maximise your earning potential. If you demonstrate the following attributes then you will almost certainly command a premium:

COMMERCIAL ACCUMEN
firms always look for candidates with a keen business sense.

EXCEPTIONAL BILLING PERFORMANCE
those who achieve high returns can expect to command higher salaries.

CLIENT FOLLOWING
not only can the firm benefit from a lucrative source of new business, it also proves your value to your client base.

ABILITY TO DEVELOP NEW BUSINESS
someone who can bring in new work through their own networking capabilities will obviously be more valuable than those who rely on the firm's own marketing efforts.

SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE
for example corporate finance, banking, construction, commercial property, PFI and pensions.

EXPERINECE IN A CITY FIRM
if you are relocating from London you will be in an excellent position to negotiate.
