hi hugo,

how do i go about looking at the accounts?

yes i can imagine in the bigger cities we'd be a small firm but we have good coverage in our region

[tg95]

im afraid i have no idea!

Are you really a trainee solicitor working in corporate law but don’t know how to access publicly available corporate records or how to research local salaries?

Or are you trying to work out the earning potential of someone else in your life for some reason?

You'll attract the salary you can. It's quite random and I don't know how anyone here can be more specific except legal recruiters. What do your friends and colleagues tell you?

Consider the effect of Brexit and a recession on your career. Junior lawyers in commercial fields are often first to be offloaded should work slow down.

hi Katrina,

Yes i am. I wasn't aware however that you could search for partnerships on CH.

As stated, i have researched but they tend to be for bigger regional firms. Additionally i presume that an NQ salary in company/commercial would differ from that of one in conveyancing - hence why i mentioned it to see if there was anybody on here in the same as area as myself
