Q3 2025
By Lucy Morris
In Q3 2025, the UK legal market recorded 259 senior legal moves and promotions, representing a 19% increase from the 217 recorded in Q2 2025 and a slight increase from our records in Q3 2024, which stood at 236. The overall figures reflect exactly what we expect to see during this period, and a steady hiring momentum across sectors, particularly in Technology and Financial Services, where firms continue to compete aggressively for top legal talent.
Promotions vs moves
After a period of flux, moves and promotions are levelling out at similar figures, with 111 moves and 148 promotions in Q3. As expected, the data shows the annual busiest period for moving roles is the early summer, as those who undertook the search for a new opportunity in the New Year finally start onboarding after their notice period. Q1 typically comes with new budgets and hiring plans, which will always predict Q2 as the most active period. The data for the previous two years shows a steady, predictable wave, but let’s see what Q4 brings.
Typically, promotion rounds are held in Q2 or Q4 annually, but this year, most have been pushed towards the end of summer. This is no cause for alarm, though, as the aggregate figures remain steady.
Sector trends
Market moves by sector
Filter by sector
- High activity sectors: Technology, Financial Services, Investment/VC/PE, and Energy & Utilities have consistently shown significant movement, indicating strong demand for senior legal talent, which is usually recruited externally. Technology remains the most dynamic sector, likely driven by AI innovation, compliance complexity, and regulatory challenges.
- Low activity sectors: Social enterprise, Design & Advertising, Education, Hospitality and Telecoms remain relatively quiet, accurately reflecting smaller in-house teams or slower hiring cycles.
- Consumer Goods, Retail and FMCG: Movement is cyclical, with peaks in Q2 2024 and consistent activity through 2025, reflecting ongoing brand and regulatory pressures.
- Investment, VC and PE: Activity over the past tw years has steadily declined (33 → 12). The decline may reflect a market slowdown, as London and the UK face wider fundraising challenges at all levels.
- Regulatory drivers: Regulatory complexity is the main driver for senior in-house hiring, which is seen across Financial Services, Energy, Healthcare, and Technology,
