• Human Resources - roles available in more Law firms 
• Financial services -  accounting and finance is an important department in any Law firm
• Research and Information Services  - including keeping IT systems up-to-date
• Graduate recruitment - particularly in larger Law firms recruiting high numbers of trainee solicitors
• Facilities and Property Management - seeking new premises for expanding and merging Law firms as well as maintaining existing buildings.
