Understanding legal environments

Legal practices are demanding places to work, and the wrong hire causes problems that go beyond a straightforward employment issue. We work with firms that cannot afford to have support staff who are not up to the pace, and we take that seriously when we assess candidates for legal roles.

We place across all areas of law, with particular depth in private client, residential and commercial property, probate, litigation, family, and employment. Our candidates include experienced legal secretaries, paralegals progressing toward qualification, and fee earners at various stages of their careers.

Private practice and in-house

The majority of our legal placements are within law firms across London and the surrounding areas. We work with sole practitioners and boutique firms as well as mid-sized regional practices and larger London offices. We have also placed legal staff into in-house roles, including legal assistants and compliance-adjacent positions within financial services and property businesses.

Private client and probate is an area where we have placed a significant number of candidates over the years, including Probate Legal Executives, Solicitors, and practice support staff within specialist probate and estate administration teams.
