Recruitment

We recruit lawyers on behalf of a broad range of international and domestic law firms as well as on behalf of companies and banks in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.

  • Associate Private Practice Recruitment 
    From newly qualified to senior assistant level, we provide detailed market intelligence, combined with practical advice such as the appropriate firm/s to approach and the best method of doing so. Through our pioneering, secure extranet, candidates can track every stage in the recruitment process and shadow the work of their consultant. Where relevant, we also provide comprehensive feedback on psychometric assessments enabling candidate lawyers to make informed career decisions.

  • Junior Partner Private Practice Recruitment 
    Moving as an assistant to a partner or partner designate role requires a different approach. You may need guidance on building a business plan and assessing your market worth. We provide bespoke advice to guide you through the process.

  • Senior Partner/Team Private Practice Recruitment 
    As a senior partner or part of a team, a unique set of rules applies. We understand those rules. The process is likely to be longer. The stakes are typically higher. Recruitment at this level is highly market sensitive. Absolute confidentiality from the outset is paramount. At the initial stage CVs are rarely produced. We provide assistance in producing financial and strategic business plans. Assessing the value of a senior individual or of a team and providing insightful market analysis is a key part of our service.
     
  • In-house Recruitment 
    We recruit lawyers at all levels of seniority on behalf of companies and banks, regularly running advertised assignments for such positions.
