Technical recruitment



It is extremely important that your recruitment consultant has a detailed understanding of what you do as a lawyer.

At Ellaby Chamberlain we take this obligation more seriously than anyone else.

All our consultants have a strong technical understanding of the legal industry. No-one here will try to sell a role focused on IPOs to an out-and-out M&A lawyer. We will not confuse an asset finance lawyer with a property finance lawyer. We know the difference between a private funds lawyer and someone who advises on regulated public funds.

Our technical understanding also extends to career planning. We have helped numerous associates join firms where they have progressed to partner – this includes UK and US firms.

We (and our clients) also understand that not every lawyer they hire will stay forever. We can advise you on the best route into a US or Magic Circle firm, if that is what you want. Similarly, we can help a junior lawyer make the best intermediate step toward in-house options.

As well as a highly developed understanding of legal work and career paths, we also pride ourselves on our understanding of law firm culture. We know what type of personality fits into each firm. You will not find anyone at Ellaby Chamberlain trying to convince a lawyer seeking a better work/life balance that they belong at a US firm.
