Which areas of law do you cover?

Categories: Candidates, Employers

We cover all types of law if we get instructions from firms and in house legal departments. Our main areas where we do most business are with small-medium sized solicitors firms either on the high street, or in niche commercial practices in the City of London or regions. Although we have links and occasional dealings with larger city & corporate/commercial firms, we are not so busy in these areas.

We like to support firms that still provide legal aid work, but sadly we often find that recruitment is simply not possible because candidate expectations on salary are very different to the levels being offered by the firms. In the past we have worked a lot with crime, mental health, immigration, housing and family legal aid posts, but its very rare we get much on these fronts at present.

On the in house legal department side we have dealt with companies across the UK of all shapes and sizes and in all industries. We have worked with multi-national blue chip companies as well as SMEs looking for a very part time in house legal counsel.

We have worked with clients as diverse as offshore private practice law firms, in-house departments, charities, local authorities, licensed conveyancers and international law practices.

Main types of law covered:

Child Care, Civil Litigation, Clinical Negligence, Commercial Contracts, Commercial Litigation, Commercial Property, Company/Commercial, Compliance, Construction, Conveyancing (Residential), Corporate, Debt Recovery, Employment, Family/Matrimonial, General In House Counsel Roles, Immigration (Corporate & Personal), Insolvency, Intellectual Property, Landlord & Tenant, Law Costs Draftsmen, Mergers & Acquisitions, Pensions, Personal Injury, Planning, Plot Sales, Private Client, Probate (Contentious), Professional Negligence, Property Litigation, Public Sector, Real Estate, Shipping Law, SME Business Advice, Sports Law, Taxation, Trademarks, Trusts & Tax, Wills & Probate.
