Legal Recruitment
The Job Title Is Only Part of the Requirement
Legal recruitment requires an understanding of practice area, level of responsibility, client base, commercial context and professional experience.
Two candidates with the same title may have very different experience. One Solicitor may have worked predominantly within private practice, while another may have moved in-house and developed broader commercial responsibilities.
For that reason, we aim to understand the substance of the role before identifying suitable candidates.

We can also take account of location, hybrid or office requirements, salary or rate, notice period and expected start date.
