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.
