Also, it`s fair to say that businesses without a long-standing base in the city have gone crazy about Manchester in recent years. Established regional and national companies now have to share their territory with urban actors who want to do some of their “Northshore” work by opening support offices outside the capital, where rents and overhead are cheaper. In 2015, US giant Latham & Watkins announced plans to establish a base of support for Manc, along with Magic Circle member Freshfields and City veteran Berwin Leighton Paisner. These branches in the North may be “low-cost” support centres, but they offer legal employment opportunities. Freshfields will begin legal training in the city. Liverpool is home to two major football clubs, three universities, one of the UK`s largest ports and a bubbling retail scene. While the city is almost as large as Manchester in terms of population and offers its residents many of the same social and cultural amenities, its importance as a legal centre is not as great as that of its sister inland. In terms of size, the legal market is closer to that of smaller cities such as Nottingham or Newcastle.

The city has also developed into a place of learning and culture, with two universities, renowned music schools and a world-class orchestra, the Hall. The post-war revival helped Manchester claim the title of Britain`s second largest city (although it often fought with Birmingham for the crown). The BBC`s move to the rejuvenated Salford Quays area has also made the city a serious media hub, with plenty of theatre, restaurants and nightlife – all the hallmarks of a modern metropolis.
With many shops booming, it`s no surprise that Manchester – the UK`s third most visited city – has overtaken Leeds as the legal capital of the North. I am inspired to use the legal skills I have learned to provide protection to those who need it. Working at the Misvoices of Justice Test Centre has given me the opportunity to achieve this goal. It really improved my knowledge of the criminal justice system and gave me many opportunities to gain hands-on experience. Studying in a specific city is a great way to convince employers that you`re invested in the area, so aspiring lawyers who want to try Liverpool for themselves should take a look at the LPC options available at BPP and Liverpool John Moores. In this sense, the education sector remains an important contributor to Liverpool`s economy. After the Brexit vote, some concerns were raised about the future of scientific research in the city, with the University of Liverpool receiving £49 million in EU grants between 2007 and 2013. Little assurances have been given as to where future support will come from, so Liverpool`s tech and education authorities are likely to keep their legal advisers on short dialing when new guidelines are introduced in the coming years. Free legal advice for those who need it most. The success of Manchester`s local businesses (such as DWF) in their national expansion, and the city`s appeal to foreigners, has had a rather strange effect: there are no big True Blue Manchester companies (or North West companies for that matter) now.
The next two examples are Brabners (which is quite small and also has an office in Liverpool) and Hill Dickinson (which also has large offices in London and Liverpool, where it started). This means that if you want to train at a large trading company in Manchester, you can only choose from companies with offices across the country. DLA Piper has more apprentices in the city than any other company, ten of them at the time of our search in 2017. Hill Dickinson, from Liverpudlian, followed with eight, while Brabners and DWF had six each. The first holistic clinic of its kind in the country.
