The UK’s largest companies are employing a record number of lawyers despite the tough economic climate, according to a survey of the FTSE 100 companies.
The survey, compiled by Legal Week‘s sister title, Legal Director, reveals that the total number of lawyers employed worldwide by companies in the FTSE 100 index stands at 4,034. This is a slight increase on the total of 3,891 lawyers in the same survey 12 months ago.
