What we do
We recruit exclusively in legal operations and transformation. That depth means we know every role, every market, and every candidate worth knowing.
LPM is the discipline that makes legal work deliverable, predictable and profitable. We've been recruiting in it since 2019 - longer than most firms have had a dedicated LPM function.
We work across the full LPM spectrum - from first hires building a practice from scratch to global heads leading teams across multiple jurisdictions. We know what good looks like at every level.
Our network spans Magic Circle, Silver Circle and Am Law firms, as well as in-house legal teams building LPM capability for the first time. We've placed candidates who have gone on to shape how their firms manage matters, price work and deliver client value.
Roles we place
Pricing is one of the most commercially critical functions in a law firm - and one of the most underserved by recruiters who don't understand it.
We recruit for pricing professionals who understand the commercial mechanics of legal work: fee modelling, alternative fee arrangements, profitability analysis and client negotiation. From analysts to Director level.
As firms move away from time-based billing, the demand for sophisticated pricing talent is accelerating. We know where that talent is and how to reach them.
Roles we place
Innovation in legal isn't a buzzword anymore. It's a function - with real teams, real budgets, and a growing need for people who can build and lead it.
We recruit for innovation managers, legal technology leads, AI implementation specialists and the senior leaders who set the direction for how a firm delivers services differently. These roles sit at the intersection of law, technology and change - and require recruiters who understand all three.
We work with law firms building innovation practices, in-house teams implementing legal technology, and vendors looking for people who understand both the legal world and the technology transforming it.
Roles we place
Legal operations is the infrastructure of a high-performing legal function. The people who build it are rare - and in demand across every market we work in.
We recruit for COOs, Chiefs of Staff, Heads of Legal Operations and the transformation leaders who design and deliver operational change in legal environments. These are complex, senior roles that require deep understanding of both the legal world and operational best practice.
We work across law firms, in-house legal teams and legal service vendors - wherever there's a need to build or transform how legal work gets done.
Roles we place
Process improvement in legal is about redesigning how work flows - reducing cost, increasing predictability and improving client experience at the same time.
We recruit for professionals who bring structured methodologies - Lean, Six Sigma, design thinking - and apply them to legal environments. These candidates often come from outside legal, which is exactly why they're effective.
Our approach to transferable talent means we surface candidates from consulting, financial services and operations backgrounds who bring both the methodology and the ability to land it in a legal context.
Roles we place
Sometimes you need expertise now - without a permanent headcount decision. We place contract and interim specialists across all our practice areas.
Fractional LPM leads, interim legal ops managers, project-based innovation specialists - we have a network of experienced professionals available for short-term, fixed-term and interim engagements.
Useful when you're covering a gap, running a project, or testing a function before committing to a permanent hire. We move quickly and our candidates are pre-qualified.

How we work
01
We go deep on the role - not just the job description but the context, the team, the culture and what success actually looks like in 12 months.
02
We identify the full universe of candidates - including people not actively looking - and prioritise based on fit, not just availability.
03
Every candidate is qualified against the brief before you see them. You get a shortlist, not a pile of CVs.
04
We stay close through interviews, feedback and offer stage - managing the process so good candidates don't fall away.
Search types
Not every search is the same. We'll recommend the right approach based on the seniority, urgency and complexity of the role.
A dedicated, exclusive engagement for senior or business-critical hires. We commit full resource to the search - you get priority access to the market.
Faster to mobilise for roles where the candidate pool is accessible and the timeline is tight. Fee on placement only.
We'll tell you who's out there - and how we'd approach it.
