The growth of Western Australia’s legal market and its close proximity to the Asian market make Perth the newest candidate for the legal recruiters, who already have offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland.

“High levels of quality Perth candidates have always contacted us about overseas or interstate opportunities and this encouraged us to expand our office network into the state,” said Liz Rooke, national manager of Hays Legal.

“By opening our specialist recruitment services in Perth, we can service the legal market face-to-face and assist lawyers at all levels to gain private practice, in-house or government opportunities locally,” Rooke said.
