What we do

Legal hiring, done
with precision.

We specialise in legal hiring across in-house teams and law firms, focusing exclusively on mid to senior-level roles where the quality of the match defines the outcome.

01

In-house legal teams

We work with CHROs and TA teams to place lawyers at the GC and Group GC level and also help Legal Heads expand their teams. We look for people who go beyond technical skill and understand business, culture, and long-term growth.

02

Law firm recruitment

We focus on senior hiring for law firms, partners, practice heads, and rainmakers who bring both legal expertise and a book of business. These are hires that shape a firm's direction and directly drive revenue.

03

Mid to senior mandates

We focus where it matters most. Senior hires shape teams, culture, and direction and deserve a search process that reflects that weight.

04

Long-term fit

Every search is oriented around lasting placement. A role closed is not the goal, a team strengthened is.

How we work

A sharper, more considered process.

i.

Quality over volume

We send a small, well-matched shortlist, not a pile of profiles. Every candidate we put forward has been spoken with, evaluated, and genuinely considered for this specific role.

ii.

Beyond the CV

We assess capability, communication, intent, and cultural alignment. A strong résumé is a starting point, not a conclusion. We do the work to understand who the person actually is.

iii.

Long-term thinking

We're not optimising for speed or volume. We're optimising for outcomes, for teams that actually work well together, and hires that stick.

iv.

Honest, transparent dialogue

With clients and candidates alike. We give candid views on the market, the role, and the fit, because honest guidance leads to better decisions for everyone.

Who we work with

Organisations building lasting legal teams.

We work with companies and firms that take hiring seriously, those who understand that the right legal hire isn't just about filling a seat, but about shaping a function.

Our clients are typically in-house legal teams at growth-stage or established organisations, and law firms hiring at the senior end of the curve.
