crisis radically changed the needs of Ukrainian business in legal services. A very popular two years ago, experts in corporate law, land issues, and ultimately worthless securities: work for them there is little, but for infrequent orders offered three times less than previously. But their colleagues, oriented in the tax, employment law and debt collection, derived from the current dismal state of the economy maximum profit - their fees in recent years only grow.

lawyers risk being outsiders, domestic labor market and in 2010 as the President of the recruiting portal SuperJob Alexei Zakharov, although the number of vacancies for such professionals as of January this year, higher than last year"s figures by 15%, the army of unemployed job seekers is growing much faster . As a result, competition for a place in this industry one of the highest and reaches 40 people. The representative of the Lviv"s law firm Management Consulting Group "Julia Mikolaevich explains this trend the fact that the majority of specialized firms during the crisis the number of orders decreased significantly.

For example, their office has reduced the amount of work by 70% - many regular customers refused to integrated services, and new in the last year almost did not appear. Consequently, the company"s demands for staff has greatly decreased. In 2009, massively reduced the lawyers and companies operating in various sectors. According to the portal rabota.ua, least of all in collaboration with lawyers interested in those who before the crisis, reputed the most generous employers: the builders, sellers of real estate, insurance, transport, advertisers, sellers of automobiles, telecommunications equipment, farmers. More chances for job seekers find work in law firms, which share a common database of vacancies for almost 25% of applications, as well as companies that sell consumer goods (20%), and in the industry (19%).

Instead mergers - debt collection

Over the past year significantly transformed and needs of domesti1000c business for the services of lawyers. So, if earlier on the crest of economic growth the most desired and highly paid professionals were on Mergers and Acquisitions (MA), as well as working in the securities markets and real estate, now in its services business is practically no need, said Julia Mikolaevich. This trend confirms the director of personnel law firm Ilyashev and partners "Victoria Deeva, according to which today is extremely low demand for land and real estate law. The most in demand are lawyers who specialize in working with problem debtors concerned citizens affairs, tax law.

consultant recruitment agency ANCOR "in Lviv Natalia Kyritz says that most local employers in need of lawyers engaged in the collection of problem debts, maintenance and the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, representation of interests of creditors, tax disputes, labor law. But in Dnepropetrovsk law firm "Astraea Dnipro note that they have a boom for specialists in the recovery of problem debts over the summer last year, but remained stable at a high volume of work on civil and criminal law.

Director-General of Donetsk law firm BTM Staff Igor Lavrinenko said that in their region in the last three or four months have started to use popular services on registration of security and building licenses. Given the lamentable state of affairs in the same real estate market, the expert can explain this trend except that the work of entrepreneurs in the future. However, such clients have given the work of lawyers specializing in licensing and, in particular, with regard to the relevant state structures. We have local offices to actively engage them in project work without enrollment in the state, but good fees - up to $ 1 thousand for the cause.

require a supplement

The most conservative estimates, in the wake of the crisis jobs lost and 20% of lawyers. Army lawyers unclaimed annually complete and several thousand graduates of specialized schools. According rabota.ua, most resume in their database of legal advisers, their assistants, heads of legal departments, specialists in corporate law. The market is still quite a few nepristroennyh since the crisis seeker who worked on the land once the money markets, real estate, securities, etc.

In the best of times their salaries reached $ 5 thousand per month and above, and top-end professionals could count on the amount of two to three times greater. They reduce their appetites very slowly, preferring to sit out the chaotic days of existing stock. The situation is complicated by the fact that, given specific legal, operational change specialization, following the new trends in the market, not so easy, as employers, considering the candidature of the applicant, are interested first and foremost by his experience of doing business in a limited sphere, and advances in this field. Those who are still willing to work on has become less in demand profession must contend with a significant reduction in salary. In regions lawyers unpopular destinations now offer from 1,5 ths. month. In cities with million-- 4-6 thousand

But lawyers for the services which the company still needed, not only lost wages, but often require an employer more than before the crisis. For example, if in 2008 an expert on licensing was willing to work for 5 thousand UAH. per month, now the requests of at least 8-9 thousand according to Victor Deev, the market is saturated with competitors, who want for their services at $ 3-4 thousand per month, and their skills can hardly be called ideal. But as for individual specialties already planned deficit (debt collection, tax law), companies are forced to raise rates. In late 2009, their salaries increased by 10% and are in the regions up to 3-4 ths., In the cities with million-strong - up to 10 ths. Experts believe that the necessary personnel can expec1bct an increase in their salary in the amount of 10-15% in the current year.

The representatives of "non-crisis" specialization of work, on the contrary, will be even smaller, which could further lower wages by 5-15%.
