The number of students looking to become lawyers after they graduate is on the increase, according to a new survey. Figures from the annual Legal Week Intelligence Law Student Survey show that the number of students aiming for law careers has risen since last years report, states Legalweek. Students who were surveyed "overwhelmingly" named magic circle law firms as the most desired companies to work for, seeing them as offering outstanding career prospects. Commenting on this, Linklaters trainee recruitment partner Simon Firth, said: "It tends to be cyclical. The legal profession at the moment is doing well and that attracts people." However, the results also indicate that ethnic minority and female students are still having difficulty entering the UK's top law firms, despite companies ongoing attempts to tackle diversity. UK-based ethnic minorities could suffer further as many firms are recruiting ethnic minority lawyers from India, China and Southeast Asia, Legalweek reports. Legalweek has also rervealed that Allen and Overy is set to introduce working flexibility to its lawyers as top firms struggle to adapt to the aftermath of the credit crunch.
