Legal recruitment · UK wide

Legal recruitment.
Covered properly.

Solicitors, paralegals, legal executives and support staff. Your consultant works the legal market and nothing else, so the first conversation starts somewhere useful.

  • A reply either way
  • Your CV moves when you say so
  • Always free for candidates

What we're good at

We know the work, not just the job title.

A conveyancer and a property litigator are not the same hire. Neither are a paralegal and a legal secretary. Knowing the difference is most of the job.

We speak your discipline

PQE and practising certificates. Supervision, billing targets and case systems. You should not have to translate.

One consultant, start to finish

The person who takes your call runs your search and answers their own phone.

The whole picture, awkward parts included

Why the role is open. What the last person found hard. What the billing target really is.

Nobody is left wondering

Including when it is no, with the reason attached.

What we cover

Deep in one market, not shallow in eight.

Legal is the only desk we run. The person on it works that market every day, reads its trade press and knows what PQE, supervision and billing targets actually mean.
Why only legal?

Latest vacancies

No current vacancies

An empty board beats one padded out with roles that aren’t real.

Most of what we fill is briefed to us before it is ever advertised. Tell us what you are looking for and you are the first call when something lands, rather than the hundredth application once it goes public.

About a minute, no account, and a reply either way.
