Job Details
As we move towards the tail end of the year,
The Partner lateral hiring market remains very fluid in certain practice areas, although it is stalling in one or two others (we would be happy to provide you with a digest of how the market is behaving in your area of specialism). We presently have Partner and senior non-Partner candidates out interviewing with
19
of the country's leading law firms on
actual
Partner mandates, including from leading international and US Firms, National Firms, Regional Firms and strong West End / Mayfair Firms.
We have live roles in all of the practice areas listed below, albeit most of these opportunities require some sort of following/client base from the individual, some not as much as others (varying depending upon the strategic need of the Firm)
Candidates In Every Instance Need To Be
* Legal qualified to work in England and Wales
* Currently be working in Private Practice in the UK
A limited selection of some of the Partner roles we are presently looking to fill include:
* Commercial
* Real Estate
* Construction
* Insolvency/Bankruptcy
* Corporate
* Private Equity
* Private Wealth
* Employment
* Securitisation
* Litigation & Arbitration
* Commercial Law (IP/IT/Data Protection etc)
* International Projects
* Banking & Finance
* Planning
as well as various others opportunities.
As mentioned, the roles that we are looking to fill almost always see the need for an individual to have a client following of their own (usually ranging from c£250,000 up to multiple £Million) albeit one or two of our roles require no following and others require only ½ a practice, with pre-existing work for that individual to tap into.
Our roles suit senior and experienced current full-equity Partners, junior Partners and senior non-Partners (Counsel / Legal Director level) who have started to nurture a few relationships of their own.
We have fantastic relationships with almost all of The Lawyer Top 200 Firms, so even if we are not currently aware of any roles in your particular practice area, we have direct access to the key decision makers in all of these Firms and so can readily drum up a list of possibilities for you.
We can be differentiated from most other Legal Recruitment Agencies by virtue of the fact that:
* We almost ONLY work on Partner and Partner Designate roles (95% of our jobs)
* We ONLY work with the Lawyer 'TOP 200' Firms
* Our contacts are almost exclusively Managing Partners, CEO's and Heads of Department who we have a direct line through to and from who we tend to get very swift feedback.
* Our Director previously spent many years working on the Chambers Legal Directories and as a result has an in depth understanding of which Firms best suit which individuals and multiple contacts at most leading Law Firms.
* We have placed at and worked with virtually every one of the top 200 Law Firms and a majority of US Firms in London
So whether you are tentatively looking to explore the market, seriously looking or else simply want a greater understanding of current market conditions, should you be considering your future either as an individual, as part of a team or are looking to merge or bolt-on your Firm, feel free to contact us for a confidential discussion on or email our Director, Julian at
