Recruitment services - Legal

Michael Page Legal is since 2001 specialised in the permanent, temporary and interim recruitment of legal professionals, ranging from junior roles up to general counsel level. With our consultative approach, we have a proven track record of completing recruitment and interim assignments for organisations ranging from small sized companies to listed multinationals and from global leading law firms to national boutique firms. We work hard to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships and have consequently earned the trust of businesses within different industries.

We quickly grasp how legal roles impact the success of your business and we know how to match qualified, experienced candidates with exciting and challenging opportunities. In fact, many of our Recruitment Consultants come to us directly from a legal background and they know what it’s like to be a candidate or employer in your sector.

Additionally, we deploy a results-oriented approach by operating a fee structure that is based primarily on our success in fulfilling your requirements. A significant element of the fee is related to successful completion of a placement. Should your new hire leave within four months, we will source a new candidate for you, free of charge. Since our recruitment teams are broken down by specialism, you’ll always deal with someone who knows the local market inside out.
