Hi :)
I know this will have been done before and will do a search, but things seem to change so much so quickly that it's worth asking again. I really just wanted to know if anyone knows of any agencies/law firms/in house legal departments that either allow or encourage home working, particularly part time.
How much PQE is generally required and what specializms are most in demand? Does anyone know the going rate for agency work of this type? If anyone already does this, what are the pros and cons? Do you need to have trained in a city firm or is a big regional firm ok? Will they take people who have had a career break e.g. for kids?
Many of my friends have simply been unable to return to law following having had time off to have kids :( I am one of the VERY lucky ones and am working, but have a restriction placed on my practising certificate for the next year due to having had time off. I am willing to contemplate any legal type work that can be done from home, even if just proof reading. Any and all advice and replies very gratefully received as am at my wits end and I am destroying my health the way I am going. Also, are there any recruitment agencies that would be good to contact on this (I have a good one 're PSL work)
