Welcome to EJ Legal

Whether you are planning a career move, or you are looking to hire permanent or temporary legal talent or you are simply interested in finding out more about the legal marketplace, both in house and in private practice, you will find a wealth of information on our site. Our success is based on a combination of expertise, focus, innovation and commitment and it's a formula we continue to develop. There are two teams within our legal division: Private Practice and In-house. We understand the needs of both markets are different, and we have developed our service accordingly.

Private Practice

Our Private Practice team occupies a unique position in the legal recruitment arena. In a world in which some people are sceptical about how much value recruitment consultants add to the recruitment process, we've built a reputation for achieving outstanding results.

We act for the full spectrum of law firms in London from the leading US law firms, magic circle, silver circle, medium-sized and small City practices, all the major national firms, through to West End firms and niche specialist practices. We have been recruiting at both partner and assistant solicitor level for these firms continuously since 1992. What sets us apart from our competitors is the strength and longevity of our relationships with not only the HR departments but with the managing partners and the heads of department in these firms, many of whom joined their firms through us. When we make an introduction to a firm you can be sure we are in touch with a decision-maker, who will base their decision on whether or not they want to meet you as much on our recommendation and what we tell them about you as on the content of the CV we prepare on your behalf.

It has taken many years to build up this level of knowledge and trust. Our reputation for delivering the right candidate for the right role in the right firm is second-to-none. It is one we guard fiercely.

In House

EJ Legal's In-House team was set up to service the growing needs of legal departments within the Financial Services and Commerce and Industry sectors. Our In-House team is committed to building long-term relationships, to ensure that we help clients and candidates achieve their objectives. At the heart of our approach lie two simple but essential ingredients - focus and effort.

We acquire a complete understanding of our clients' businesses and working environments, and we go to great lengths to ascertain the criteria for a particular position. Our relationships are with the decision makers across a wide spectrum of business sectors - we are in hourly contact with General Counsel and Heads of Departments. Our approach is honest and direct and our clients know that our absolute priority is to find them the right candidate for their role. To us matching exactly our candidate's technical knowledge, personality and ambitions to our client's needs is the fundamental skill required in a recruitment consultant. It is something at which we consider ourselves to be the market-leaders. As do, our candidates and our clients.
