In-house legal market moves report Q2 2025

Q2 2025

In Q2 2025, the UK legal market recorded 217 senior legal moves and promotions, which is a decrease from 267 in Q1 2025 and a small decline from our records in Q2 2024. The overall data reflects sustained hiring momentum across sectors, particularly in Technology and Financial Services, where firms continue to compete aggressively for top legal talent. 

Promotions vs Moves 

Moving companies accounted for the majority of Q2 2025 activity (182), outpacing promotions significantly (35) and indicating a strong market. This is the lowest promotion figure in any quarter since Q1 2024 and suggests firms are once again looking outward for fresh leadership. This is a significant shift in comparison to the previous year, where promotions and moves had been relatively equal. Promotions have been the front runner twice and moves a respective three times, but neither has been more than 5% from the other. 

Sector Trends

Market moves by sector

Filter by sector

  • Technology remained the most active with 32 moves, though slightly down from 51 in Q1. The sector continues to be the most consistent source of legal hiring, driven by innovation, AI, cybersecurity, and digital expansion. 
  • Financial Services posted 28 moves, down from 49 in Q1 but still high historically. Activity remains robust as firms seek experienced counsel for compliance, governance, and transactional needs.

  • Entertainment, Media, Sport and Gaming and Fintech recorded strong quarters (18 and 16 moves, respectively), reflecting the legal complexity of rapid innovation and content growth. 
  • Energy, Sustainability and Utilities saw a slowdown (9 moves, down from an average of 20 over the past 5 quarters), potentially reflecting project cycle timing or slower regulatory developments. 
  • Investment, VC and PE also showed reduced movement (16 moves), continuing a gradual decline from previous highs in early 2024, but remaining one of the most active sectors overall.
