Specialist Private Practice Legal Recruitment

Our private practice recruitment consultants work with law firms across the UK to source legal professionals at every level. Our practice area specialists have invested time and effort into building key relationships with paralegals, associate solicitors, and equity partners with strong experience within your practice area.

We practice across all key legal areas, which include corporate and commercial law, litigation, property, family law, and regulatory work. Much of our work is conducted by recognising that the best lawyers already hold high roles and utilising executive search and a discreet approach to engaged talent, not necessarily on the job boards.

We offer competitive salaries, benchmarking, advice on how to prepare you during the interviewing procedure, as well as providing an end-to-end recruitment service that will enable you to make an informed hiring decision.

Why Employers Choose Fortray for Legal Recruitment

Our legal recruitment specialists conduct rigorous pre-assessments to ensure that every candidate we present is the right fit for your business, not only in terms of technical ability but also in cultural alignment and long-term potential.

The most effective in-house counsel, solicitors, or legal leaders are more than subject-matter experts; they’re commercially astute, solutions-driven, pragmatic communicators with the ability to simplify complex issues and understand the commercial priorities of your organisation. We invest time in understanding each candidate’s strengths, soft skills, and professional mindset so you only meet applicants who can make an immediate and lasting impact.

Any search process we undertake starts with a detailed consultation to determine exactly what your organisation needs and what it wants to achieve. This enables us to pitch your opening with precision and value, particularly to high-demand attorney professionals who are typically time-scarce and overwhelmed with generic pitches.

Renting the best legal talent is just 50 per cent of the deal; retaining them is also very important. We ensure that our consultants get to know the individual career motivators of each candidate, and are therefore in a position to only match them with professionals who will be most likely to succeed within your organisational culture and vision. This focused strategy will minimise attrition, guard against team attrition, and ensure that the benefits of investing in recruitment are maximised.

Among the greatest performing legal experts, partners, general counsel, or senior associates are not on the prowl for new jobs. We excel at discreetly contacting this untapped source of talent and establishing relationships of trust well before opportunities emerge.

In the legal setting, the slowdown in recruitment becomes stressful to the available resources and may derail strategic efforts as well as augment the risk a business is in. Using Fortray, you will cut your time-to-hire by effective talent sourcing, job positioning, and ready access to a pool of vetted professionals.

We also assist you through each phase of the recruitment cycle: development of accurate job descriptions, recommending diversity and inclusion strategies, offering pay and benefits market comparison, and negotiating offers. This would give you not only the best legal talents but also the ability to retain them at a time of high competition.
