Jobs for lawyers in the UAE on the rise, but not salaries | The National:

"The UAE’s return to economic growth has led to an increase in legal hiring for both in-house and private practices, according to legal recruitment specialists. Such an increase, however, has not led to a large rise in salaries, with new opportunities largely filled by lawyers on the ground rather than new arrivals.

After a sustained period of layoffs and limited hiring, law firms are once again boosting their legal teams, said Essam Al Tamimi, a senior partner at Al Tamimi & Company.

“The trend has shifted a lot in the past 18 months, and particularly since the start of this year,” he said. “There’s much more hiring from both local and international firms. We’re all hiring and looking for talent.”"
