people to law, but the reality can be very different. Law salaries vary greatly depending on the type of work you do, which type of firm or organisation you work for, and where in the country you work.
You should do as much research as you can in the areas you are most interested in to get the most accurate information on what the salaries might be, and to make sure your expectations are realistic.
Be aware that the law evolves, and with this comes the risk that some areas of law become less widely applicable over time, less commercially viable, and therefore less profitable – meaning lower wages.
The law is not immune to outside pressures and was affected just as badly by the 2008/09 recession as any other service industry.
Many law firms were forced to consolidate their operations, and in many cases had to make redundancies.
