Our Pledge

Since 1991, our Recruitment Consultants have placed more than 7,000 legal professionals in permanent and temporary positions for around 700 clients across the UK and internationally.

Many of our Consultants have worked as lawyers or in senior roles in law firms before they embarked on their career as a Recruitment specialist. Our collective experience exceeds 200 years’ of finding legal professionals for law firms and in-house legal teams.

Over half of our business comes from the repeat business of clients who bring us new positions to help their teams grow and from legal professionals who return to us for help achieving their next career move.
