Expanding our US Legal Recruitment Services

As demand for legal recruitment across the United States continues to grow, we’re pleased to have launched our dedicated US Legal Recruitment page.

Achieve Professionals partners with law firms and in-house legal teams across the United States, recruiting legal professionals from newly qualified Attorneys through to General Counsel and Partner appointments.

Working across major legal markets including New York, Texas, Florida, Atlanta and Charlotte, we support clients across both private practice and corporate legal functions, providing specialist market knowledge and tailored recruitment solutions.

Our US legal recruitment services are led by Sophie-Jo Grier, whose background as a former practising lawyer enables her to offer practical market insight alongside specialist recruitment expertise. As our international client base continues to expand, we’re excited to further strengthen our presence across the US legal market.

Charlie is currently recruiting across a wide range of appointments including Audit, Accounts, Corporate Tax, Private Client Tax, Business Advisory and Senior Finance Leadership. We’re delighted to have Charlie as part of the team and look forward to supporting the continued growth of the division. Take a look at our Finance and Accountancy roles.

Specialist Legal Placement Success

Congratulations to our team on successfully completing one of the most technically challenging legal assignments we’ve worked on. Our family office client required a Legal Counsel with an exceptionally niche combination of qualifications, international legal experience and language capabilities spanning multiple jurisdictions. Searches of this complexity require deep market knowledge, extensive networks and close collaboration throughout the recruitment process.

Congratulations to Andrew and Sophie-Jo on delivering another outstanding result for our client.
