Legal Recruitment Consultant

Shape careers. Influence law firms. Build a reputation that lasts.

At RedLaw, we don't just place people, we shape the legal market. We are an award-winning specialist legal search firm with a long-standing, renowned reputation for placing lawyers from newly qualified level right up to managing partners, as well as team moves and even facilitating law firm mergers. For over 15 years, we have partnered with the most prestigious UK, US and international law firms and, unlike many agencies, we're genuinely trusted by senior leadership and decision-makers.

We have longstanding leadership with hands-on, high-performing recruiters who lead by example. We're also proud to have a 50/50 male/female leadership team, a rarity in recruitment and a reflection of our mature, inclusive, people-first culture.

We're now growing our Associates team and looking for experienced legal recruiters who want more than just a desk. If you want influence, credibility, high-quality work and long-term career growth, this is the move.

Why RedLaw?

We are a brand that will open doors for you. Firms already know us, trust us and take our calls. You're not starting from scratch, you're stepping into a reputation built over 15+ years.

As a values-led business, we've won multiple industry awards, not just as an agency, but our leadership team have been individually recognised as some of the best recruiters in the country. You can leverage this credibility from day one.

You will gain access to the highest level of the market benefiting from the depths of relationships few agencies can rival. Our Partner team works directly with Senior Partners and Managing Partners. That means you're part of conversations most recruiters never reach and you're seen as a trusted advisor, not a supplier.

Because of these relationships, many associate roles come directly to us already warm, already trusted. You start with quality work on day one, not cold calling. There are no ownership politics, just respect and collaboration. We share information, support each other and work as one team. Collaboration over competition. Always.

We do meaningful, ethical recruitment, not volume KPIs. You'll work on strategic, career-defining moves that shape law firms, not transactional churn. Quality over quantity is how we've built our brand (and how you'll build yours).

Enjoy entrepreneurial freedom with support. Got ideas? You'll be heard. We're boutique and agile (no corporate red tape), but you still benefit from strong infrastructure, marketing and leadership backing. You'll have endless scope to build a desk your way and the freedom to grow your own niche.

Hybrid working is standard, and we support alternative patterns — shorter days, different hours — because we hire adults and trust them. A mature, respectful, ego-free culture. No loud sales floor. No bravado. Just a team of experienced, down-to-earth recruiters and ex-lawyers (with a huge knowledge base to share) who genuinely like each other.

Leadership that actually recruits. Amy and Jonathan, our founders, are still hands-on, successful recruiters. They understand the market, mentor the team and lead by example, not spreadsheets.

As an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), our people literally share in profits, have a voice in decisions and help shape the business. This isn't "their" company, it's our company. We're stable, profitable and award-winning but also ambitious and growing. You can make a real impact and help shape our next chapter. And it's a place to build a long-term career you're proud of.
