Legal Recruitment Services for Law Firms

Yes. We place candidates on a permanent basis for long-term hires and on a project or interim basis for fixed-term mandates, maternity cover, or peak workload periods. Whether you need a Solicitor for a six-month contract or a permanent Legal Director, we manage the full process from brief to placement.

Yes. We recruit for Legal 500 firms, boutique practices, and Magic Circle firms, as well as corporate in-house legal departments, private family offices, and financial institutions across the UK, US legal market, Europe, Middle East, and APAC. Our in-house legal recruitment covers General Counsel, Head of Legal, and legal team build-outs for businesses at every stage of growth.

Timelines vary depending on seniority and specialism. For mid-level roles such as Solicitors and Legal Executives, we typically present a shortlist within one to two weeks of receiving your brief. Senior appointments, including Partners and Legal Directors, may take two to four weeks to ensure the right calibre of candidate is identified. We keep you updated throughout and work to your timeline wherever possible.

A Solicitor qualifies through the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) or the traditional LPC route and is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). A Chartered Legal Executive qualifies through the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) and typically specialises in a specific area of law. Both are qualified legal professionals and both are placed regularly by our team across law firms and in-house legal departments.

We operate as executive search specialists, not CV-senders. Every candidate is assessed against your brief, culture, and sector before we present them – which means you only see shortlisted professionals who are genuinely aligned to your requirements. We also verify professional qualifications as standard, including SRA regulation for Solicitors and CLC accreditation for Licensed Conveyancers, so you never have to question compliance. Combined with a global network spanning the UK, US, Europe, and the Middle East, we offer both the depth and the reach that generalist agencies cannot match.

We recruit across the full legal hierarchy – from Partners, Legal Directors, and Practice Managers through to Solicitors, Legal Executives, Conveyancers, Paralegals, Fee Earners, and Legal Support Staff. Our placements span a broad range of practice areas including corporate, commercial, employment, family, property, litigation, and financial crime compliance.
