Private Practice Recruitment

Tailoring advice to each client’s needs

The role of the private practice solicitor is to be the trusted adviser to their clients in each of the areas on which they advise.

Clients operate a wide range of businesses and business models, and it is important to tailor advice to each client’s needs. No two clients, sites, professional teams, or matters are ever the same. So every day is different, and each brings its own exciting challenges and opportunities. You will never be bored!

Market overview

It’s been a busy time for legal recruitment and, as previous years have shown, the market is as job rich as ever. In particular, we are seeing an increase in commercial property roles, which have included planning, development and construction, as well as roles in private client and corporate.

Many of the larger law firms have been busy reviewing the salary and benefits they offer and with that, firms have modernised their practices by taking a big step forward on agile working arrangements, making the region a very attractive option over the City.

Due to the increasing demand for lawyers in the market, our focus is to provide a proactive and tailored approach to source the right firm and role for you. As legal recruitment specialists in the regional market – boasting a portfolio of smaller boutique practices to the larger Legal 100 firms – there’s no one better placed than us to help you navigate the maze to your next opportunity.

If you don’t see a vacancy which matches your skill set or preferred location, then please contact Hayley Rose or Chloë to discuss how we can approach our established network on a confidential basis.
