We specialise in advising on the recruitment of lawyers into companies and institutions. These range from existing in-house departments of the FTSE 100 through to companies looking to appoint their first in-house lawyer. We focus on lawyers with at least 2 years' pqe up to Head of Legal.

Working as a lawyer in-house is very different to private practice and takes a certain type of person often with very specific skills. The emphasis is on giving quick, practical and commercial advice that supports the business. Not all lawyers are able to do this in a way that meets the demands of the corporate world.

We have considerable experience of finding the right people for the right role within law recruitment. We take the time to gain a thorough understanding of the skills and attributes you are looking for as well as the culture of the particular organisation. We also take the time to understand the subtleties of your specific business and how the role will support it. This consultative approach means that we can consistently and successfully find the right people for you.

We also provide advice on a whole range of issues including salaries, market trends, department structure, location issues, job descriptions, issues arising from moving from private practice to in-house and how to go about recruiting your first lawyer.

We take a long term view of our relationship with our customers and all our advice is given with this in mind; we won't just tell you what we think you want to hear.

If you are looking to recruit or wish to have a discussion about your career, then please contact Chris, Michelle, Monique or Ainslie.
