Due to a significant increase in mergers and acquisitions, lawyers with expertise in banking were highly sought after, which, in turn, resulted in higher demand, even though the salary rates barely changed between 2014 and 2015. In addition, with the country’s economy still in recovery mode, new firms are popping up while old firms are increasing their hiring rates as well. The rates are expected to increase later on.
