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 and have their own book of business.
We have fantastic relationships with almost all ofThe Lawyer Top 200 Firms,so even if we are not currently aware of any roles in your particularpractice 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 oneof the top 200 Law Firms and a majority of US Firms in London
