What Types of Recruitment Services Do We Offer?

We offer a variety of services to support legal teams of all sizes and specialisations, including permanent placements, contract staffing, and executive search.

Permanent Legal Placements

We specialise in full-time legal staffing for roles such as legal assistants, paralegals, associates, and partners.

These placements are ideal for firms looking to expand or replace key team members with professionals who are committed to long-term growth within your organisation.

We conduct extensive vetting to ensure technical skill, cultural fit, and role alignment.

Contract and Interim Staffing

Need help during peak periods or for special projects? Our contract staffing service gives you the flexibility to scale without permanent commitment.

Whether it’s litigation support, document review, or covering maternity leave, we provide qualified legal professionals who can hit the ground running.

This service is especially valuable for firms navigating fluctuating caseloads or regulatory deadlines.

How Do We Customise Our Recruitment Solutions?

We tailor every search to your firm’s specific goals, legal requirements, and team dynamics.

Understanding Your Organisation’s Needs

Our process begins with a discovery phase where we meet with stakeholders to understand your firm’s values, structure, and hiring objectives.

This includes skill set analysis, team workflow reviews, and clarity on the soft skills needed to succeed in your environment.

Adapting to Your Legal Sector

We adapt our recruitment strategy to suit your practice area and geographic market. This includes specific regulatory knowledge, billing structures, and regional salary benchmarks.

We make sure every candidate understands the specific demands and expectations of your legal setting.

Using Case-Based Evaluation

We incorporate scenario-based interview questions and legal case simulations to evaluate how candidates think, communicate, and problem solve in real situations.

These evaluations help us assess not only technical ability but also judgment, time management, and interpersonal skills.

What Is Our Recruitment Philosophy?

Our approach combines deep legal industry insight with proven talent acquisition methods to deliver placements that work.

Hands-On Collaboration

We work closely with clients throughout the search, offering insights, updates, and feedback at each stage.

This partnership model ensures alignment, faster resolution of obstacles, and more successful hires.

Real-World Vetting Techniques

We don’t rely on resumes alone. Our screening involves legal knowledge assessments, practical scenario tests, and behavioural interviews that reflect the demands of your roles.

This hands-on approach reduces the risk of mis-hires and ensures real-world readiness.

One-on-One Candidate Support

Our candidate care includes one-on-one coaching, interview prep, and post-placement follow-up to ensure a smooth onboarding process.

This approach helps us maintain strong relationships with top talent and ensures your new hire feels supported and committed from day one.
