Candidate Expertise
Private Practice
Jameson Legal has exceptional and long standing relationships with a large number of the leading UK law firms as well as many US and European firms. We have a long history of working hand in hand with lawyers to take the next step in their career. We are also particularly well known for assisting lawyers to move internationally – this remains a key part of what we do. We take pride in the quality of our work, our professionalism and our integrity when working with lawyers and we act with the same qualities in mind with all our clients.
We work closely with a wide range of the leading commercial law firms across the globe, from the Magic Circle in London to specialist boutiques, and firms operating all over the world. We distinguish ourselves from many of our competitors by having specialist recruiters who focus on specific legal markets and sectors. These include expert recruiters focusing on international jurisdictions including Germany, the Caribbean, and Brazil. We advise those looking for a move within their own country and those also considering a move overseas with consultants who travel to those jurisdictions, speak multiple languages and in many cases have gained legal experience in those markets before becoming recruitment consultants.
Our aim is for law firms to be fully satisfied with the quality of our work, ultimately with the end result of finding the right people who fulfil or exceed our clients’ current needs or who will contribute to the firm’s strategy.
