We can work to your timeline, irrespective of urgency.
We are equally comfortable completing succession planning mandates for new equity partners to lead a team in 12 months as we are in identifying immediately suitable opportunities for more junior lawyers who have not been retained with their current firm, face redundancy/restructuring or need a "foot to the floor" service to secure a career move due to relocation either in the UK or internationally.
-
A career move or legal hire is not always the appropriate solution.
We have established trust and credibility with our law firm clients and lawyers by being consistently honest in our appraisal of their hiring needs, and, taking into account an individuals personal & professional circumstances.
-
Any successful legal move or legal hire is a concerted team effort.
We collaborate closely with Lawyers, HR Divisions, Managing Partners, Hiring Partners and other PSL agencies to ensure we minimise TTH (time to hire) for our law firm clients.
