Consultancy

While Shilton Sharpe Quarry is primarily a legal recruitment consultancy, we also undertake certain pure consultancy work with our law firm clients which complements our recruitment services.

  • Merger Searches
    The legal services market is consolidating as evidenced by the domestic, European and transatlantic law firm mergers of recent years. Shilton Sharpe Quarry has formed an exclusive alliance with an independent firm of chartered accountants and management consultants. Our specialist advice and market knowledge together with their strategic and management expertise has created a formidable force in providing expertise in law firm mergers.
     
  • Feasibility Studies
    We are able to carry out intelligence reports analysing legal markets in Europe. Law firms may instruct us to conduct comprehensive analysis on a certain jurisdiction before opening an office and to provide guidance as to the relevant options for entering an overseas market, for example, merger, alliance, lateral hiring or a combination.

  • Employer Branding
    We have an alliance with a leading recruitment advertising agency. In addition our UK recruitment team has worked on some of the most high profile and successful employer branding exercises of the last decade in the UK in the legal private practice sector. Our creative partners are experts in this field and have won a number of industry awards. Recruitment is about attraction and retention and we can work with our law firm clients in developing a winning recruitment strategy and employer brand.
