What students get
A complete picture of the legal profession in England and Wales, built around the decisions students actually have to make.
Salary benchmarking by role, region, and practice area
Students can check realistic salary expectations for solicitors (NQ to 8+ PQE), trainees, paralegals, legal secretaries, fee earners, and apprentices. Broken down by 24 practice areas, 12 UK regions, and firm size. No more relying on national averages that mean nothing for a student targeting boutique firms in the South West.
A searchable directory of every regulated law firm
8,926 SRA-regulated firms profiled with practice areas, office locations, and firm size. Students can research firms before applying, discover firms they have never heard of, and filter by the criteria that matter to them.
Live legal job listings
Students can search live roles filtered by the categories most relevant to them, including trainee solicitor positions, paralegal roles, and legal apprenticeships.
Career profiles with privacy controls
When students are ready, they can build a career profile and send it directly to firms they choose. Profiles are hidden by default. Students control who sees what. No recruiter access unless they choose to allow it.
What universities and careers services get
Built to slot into your existing employability provision, not to compete with it.
A free resource that requires no integration
There is nothing to install, no API to connect, no data sharing agreement needed. Point students to lawboard.co.uk and they can start using it immediately. Works on mobile.
Real labour market data for careers guidance
Use LawBoard's salary benchmarker in careers sessions to show students what different legal roles actually pay in different regions. Ground career conversations in data rather than anecdote.
A complement to existing careers provision
LawBoard works alongside your existing careers service, job boards, and employer partnerships. It does not replace anything. It adds a data layer that most universities do not currently have access to for the legal sector.
