In recent years, the interim legal market in London has seen substantial growth, never more so than in the current climate, and driven by the evolving needs of law firms. We provide candidates with fulfilling, flexible work arrangements that advance their careers, and we equip clients with top-tier interim legal talent that integrates flawlessly into their teams. Our extensive experience in interim legal recruitment allows us to expertly manage the unique demands of both clients and candidates, ensuring that each placement is not only a match but a mutual success.

We expertly matches interim lawyers with firms, ensuring like-for-like replacement when necessary. For instance, if a firm loses a lawyer due to a secondment, or an extended break, we can provide an interim lawyer who seamlessly integrates into the team. Similarly, we supply senior interim lawyers who can immediately contribute effectively, alleviating team stress and pressure.

The flexibility of interim roles is highly attractive to many lawyers and suitable for lawyers at all levels of post-qualification experience, although generally those with upwards of three years experience. It offers unparalleled flexibility and exposure to diverse work environments, legal practices, and firm cultures. This variety enriches professional life and broadens expertise, making interim roles a compelling option for those looking to expand their legal careers without committing to a permanent position.
