London, United Kingdom Summit Rec2Rec Full time

Head of Research – Legal Executive Search Location: London
We are working with a distinguished legal executive-search firm, highly regarded for delivering C-suite, partner-level and senior-leadership appointments across top law firms and legal services organisations. The firm is known for its research-driven, discreet approach, strong candidate relationships and deep understanding of the legal market. This is a unique opportunity to join a team committed to excellence in legal search across the UK and internationally.

As Head of Research you will lead the research function of the firm, driving candidate sourcing and market mapping for senior-level legal mandates. You will shape search strategy, oversee candidate pipelines and support the delivery of high-quality shortlists for the firm’s executive search consultants.

Lead and manage the research team (or build out the research function, depending on structure).
Conduct comprehensive market mapping and talent-pool analysis across the legal market (private practice firms, in-house legal, regulatory bodies etc.).
Identify, profile and engage passive and active candidates — including partners, senior lawyers, general counsel, and legal-leadership figures.
Build and maintain detailed “search maps” / candidate pipelines using research and proprietary tools.
Provide market intelligence on firm movements, competitor activity, and sector trends — to inform search strategy and client advice.
Prior experience in executive search, ideally within the legal sector or professional services — either as a researcher, researcher-manager or consultant.
Excellent research, mapping, and sourcing skills — ability to proactively identify senior-level talent (often passive).
Strong understanding of the UK (and preferable global) legal market: firm structures, roles, hierarchies, practice areas, and regulatory context.
Outstanding communication skills — written and verbal — with the gravitas to engage senior legal professionals.
Play a key role at a well-respected legal search firm with a strong reputation and premium client base.
Work closely with experienced consultants and partners in a professional, high-performance environment.
Opportunity to shape and grow the research function for long-term impact.
Competitive salary and performance-based bonus structure.
