In-House

Our In-House team recruits at all levels from contract managers to newly-qualified and up to Head of Legal/General Counsel. Our consultants, many of whom are legally qualified, are sector specialists and have expertise across a range of sectors including:

  • Financial Services
  • Insurance
  • Transport
  • Leisure
  • Media
  • Telecommunications
  • Technology
  • Retail/FMCG
  • Energy & Resources
  • Construction & Property

Our client base includes a range of different companies including those from the FTSE 100/250, internationally listed companies, small to medium private companies and start-ups. Some have established legal functions whereas others may be recruiting their first in-house lawyer, an area in which we are experienced in providing bespoke advice to CEOs or CFOs responsible for making that appointment.

We work with companies both in the UK and internationally, undertaking assignments for clients in places as varied as, but not limited to, London, the Home Counties, Switzerland, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We work on both a contingent and retained basis, subject to the client's requirements, and frequently run client branded advertising campaigns in the legal press and on legal websites to ensure visibility and international reach. We also have access to a well-vetted database of candidates and will pro-actively headhunt candidates for specific roles when suitable, either from law firms or other companies internationally.
