For Australian and New Zealand legal secretaries, living and working in London has been a right of passage for many!  But when the global markets crashed towards the end of 2008, so did the dreams of many would-be working holiday makers.  Many have been waiting patiently for the legal market in London to pick up before packing their bags.  The good news is that jobs are now on the increase....and so are working holiday visas!
 
During 2010 we have seen an increase in Australian and New Zealand legal secretaries approaching us for work in London. And the even better news is that once they arrived most people were able to find jobs in the legal industry.  Early signs for 2011 are positive with many firms looking to employ Australian and New Zealand legal secretaries on contracts.
