Rec Consultants

At EJ Legal we offer a unique service.

We believe that giving time and attention to each candidate is the best approach for our candidates, our client law firms and of course us! Our track record as the most successful agency for partner recruitment proves this works. Whether you`re a partner in a large city firm or a newly qualified lawyer in a regional practice you`ll always be treated in the same way.To offer this high level of service we work with a surprisingly low number of candidates. The time we devote at the initial stage of the process helps us to identify the right job for you from our extensive coverage of the market. We have excellent contacts at every top 100 practice in London, including Magic Circle, US, MDP, large to medium sized and niche London law firms and recruit into all practice areas. "48 out of the top 50 firms met out assistants last year"We will not send your CV to a client until we have met with you at length and fully discussed your reasons for seeking a new position.

We endeavour to understand not just your immediate requirements from a new role but also your long term goals and ambitions so that we can help you to make the right strategic move.If you haven`t updated your CV for several years you`re probably feeling unsure as to what should be included in this important document. It may be that the last time you wrote a CV was before you qualified. We will take considerable time working with you to improve your career profile and in doing so, help to identify your most valuable skills and experience.Once we`ve secured interviews for you, you`ll always be offered the opportunity to meet with us before the interviews so that we can provide you with valuable information about our client firms and the partners you`ll be meeting (very often placed by us). We know that the thorough advice we give on interview technique and preparation sets us apart from our competitors and truly assists our candidates in being offered the job they want. 

"90% of the assistants who come to us are offered the jobs they really want"

Moving to a new firm is a significant and momentous decision for every lawyer, and we will keep in contact with you, with advice and support at every stage of the process.We are proud of the fact that our unique focused approach to recruitment has resulted in successful career moves for our candidates, shown by the high number who remain at our client law firms. "Two years on, 85% of the assistants we`ve placed are still at the same law firm."
