Your In-House Legal Recruitment Partner
We frequently assist organisations looking for lawyers with solid commercial or corporate backgrounds, though our expertise covers a broad spectrum of practice areas, including data protection, regulatory matters, disputes, employment, and real estate. We also value sector-specific knowledge and often collaborate with lawyers experienced in fields such as technology, financial services, energy, and professional services.
Your London In-House Legal Recruitment Partner
London continues to be the hub of the UK legal market, and much of our in-house work reflects this focus. We assist organisations seeking lawyers with strong commercial, corporate, regulatory, or finance experience, particularly candidates transitioning from Magic Circle, Silver Circle, and US law firms in the City.
Our recruitment spans a wide array of practice areas, including data protection, regulatory, disputes, employment, real estate, and more, supporting both newly created roles and established legal teams.
We also prioritise sector-specific expertise, regularly working with lawyers experienced in technology, financial services, energy, professional services, infrastructure, media, and other key industries in the London market.
Your Bristol In-House Legal Recruitment Partner
We operate from both London and Bristol, with our Bristol office on Whiteladies Road providing strong insight into the regional in-house legal market. We support organisations of all sizes seeking lawyers with experience in commercial, corporate, data protection, regulatory, disputes, and other areas, including those relocating from London and other UK legal hubs—an area in which we have particular expertise.
Our recruitment covers a broad spectrum of practice areas, including real estate, finance, employment, data protection, commercial, regulatory, and litigation. We also value sector-specific experience, regularly assisting lawyers moving into roles across technology, financial services, energy, healthcare, professional services, and other industries in the Bristol market.
Private Practice Recruitment
Our private practice work is driven by deep market knowledge and long-established relationships with UK and US law firms. We take the time to fully understand each brief, the practice area, and the culture a lawyer would be joining, ensuring every introduction is thoughtful and well considered for both the firm and the candidate. We prioritise quality over quantity, preferring to submit fewer CVs where we are confident the fit is right.
Working across all major practice areas gives our team a strong perspective on how different legal disciplines intersect and influence one another, allowing us to identify lawyers whose experience, ambitions, and long-term objectives are genuinely aligned with the opportunities we present.

Our Services Include:
In-House Legal
From Legal Counsel through to General Counsel, we support businesses in attracting outstanding legal talent across a wide range of sectors.
Private Practice
We work in partnership with leading UK, international, Silver Circle, Magic Circle, and US law firms to support hires at all levels, from Associate through to Partner.
From the outset, we balance a structured approach with the flexibility to tailor our process to each individual search. We begin by investing time in understanding your organisation, legal team, and hiring goals, allowing us to define a clear and accurate brief that reflects both the role’s requirements and the qualities needed to succeed in your environment. Drawing on our deep knowledge of legal practice areas and how they intersect, we then carry out a targeted, proactive search to identify and engage lawyers whose experience closely matches your needs.
Our involvement continues well beyond candidate identification. We work closely with you and your chosen candidate through selection, offer, and onboarding, providing guidance at every stage to ensure a smooth and effective transition. Even after the appointment is made, we remain engaged, supporting both sides to help build a successful and lasting partnership.
