US Legal Recruitment
With over 20+ years of experience in legal recruitment, we’ve built countless long-standing client relationships that we continue to nurture today. Already a strong partner with large US law firms with a base in London, a natural progression was a focus on the USA. Our US desk specialises in recruiting associates for private practice across a range of practice areas with a current focus on the Mid-West and California. We help law firms strategically attract talent for current and future opportunities.
What we do?
For our clients, working with our consultative approach, we work in tandem with the firm to identify the right candidate for the role. We strive to understand what area of law our clients specialise in, supporting your firm in achieving your long-term commercial and legal growth goals.
For our candidates, we view ourselves as more than just a recruitment portal through which to hear about new opportunities. We focus intently on understanding your circumstances, your goals, and your motivations to refine the guidance that we offer to assist you in securing not just a job, but the best possible career move for you as an individual.
