Business Woman

PH Legal has an established presence in legal recruitment for solicitors since 1998 and has firm links with Magic Circle, US firms and the top 100 City firms from its London office within the square mile.

We recruit at all levels for solicitor vacancies and across all legal practice areas. Accordingly, we are perfectly positioned to effectively cover the entire legal market for solicitors seeking employment.

Our team is comprised of qualified lawyers and this enables candidates to benefit from our consultants’ invaluable insight into London’s legal marketplace, this is just one feature that characterises our professional approach and distinguishes PH Legal from its legal recruitment competitors. Our consultants are available to advise lawyer candidates at all stages of the legal recruitment process and are on hand to meet with and speak to solicitor candidates during and after office hours are available on landline or mobile numbers.

Leading US Firms

PH Legal has a US law firm division which covers the entire spectrum of US law firms in London. We take pride in the strong links we have established. From Partners to Associates to Trainees about to qualify we cover all levels of legal jobs. US firms in London recruit across a range of practice areas for solicitor jobs including:

  • Litigation/Arbitration
  • Real Estate
  • IP/IT
  • Banking
  • Restructuring
  • Corporate
  • Energy/Projects
  • Employment
  • Pensions
  • Equity/Debt Capital Markets
  • Financial Services/Funds
  • Tax

There are a number of reasons why lawyers move to US firms:

  • Increased client contact
  • Significant uplift in remuneration
  • More international work
  • Greater global reach
  • More broad-ranging and higher quality work
  • Increased responsibility and autonomy on transactions
  • Quicker career advancement
  • Individual talent is allowed to stand out
  • Smaller teams
  • The lawyers within the offices are of consistently high quality

In our experience there is rarely a significant uplift in hours when compared with top-tier UK firms which is contrary to popular perception this is information which we endeavour to convey to prospective candidates.

West End/Niche City Law Firms

The London Legal market is one of the world’s largest and most diverse in terms of type of law firm and practice areas covered. We have legal consultants focused on the West End and Boutique legal recruitment market, strong client relationships and a knowledgeable understanding of the field.

The advantages of working in the West End / niche City market include:
