Summit Rec2Rec is partnered with a high-performing boutique Legal Executive Search firm that is looking to hire ambitious Graduate Legal Recruitment Consultants to join its growing team.
This opportunity is open to 2024–2026 graduates who have gained commercial experience since graduating.
You do not need to have studied Law, although this is preferred. Ideally, you will have attended a Russell Group university, achieved strong A-levels and demonstrated a competitive mindset through sport, university societies, clubs or other extracurricular activities.
The firm specialises in senior-level legal executive search, working with some of the most senior individuals within the legal market — think Partners, Board Members and Chairman-level executives.
Their key practice areas include:
⚡ M&A & Private Equity
⚡ Finance & Restructuring
⚡ Litigation, Regulatory & Antitrust
⚡ Strategic Growth
This isn't a role where you'll spend months sitting behind a desk learning the ropes. You will be on the phones from day one, speaking with senior legal professionals and developing the confidence required to operate at executive level. You therefore need to be someone who is naturally confident, articulate and comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders. It won't be for everyone, but for the right person, the development opportunity is exceptional.
📈 As a Graduate Legal Recruitment Consultant, you will:
🔹 Build relationships with senior legal professionals and international law firms
🔹 Support senior consultants on retained executive search mandates
🔹 Conduct market mapping and candidate research
🔹 Manage candidate processes from initial outreach through to placement
🔹 Develop a deep understanding of the legal market and partner-level hiring
🔹 Learn to operate within a highly consultative executive search environment
🔹 Receive tailored training directly from experienced legal search professionals
🔹 Progress your career within a specialist, high-value recruitment market
🚀 Why this opportunity?
What really sets this business apart is the quality of its training and development.
Whilst they are looking for graduates who already have some commercial exposure, they are exceptionally strong at developing junior talent through:
Your commercial experience could have been gained through:
Legal: Paralegal work, legal internships, legal operations or similar or Commercial: A client-facing or commercially focused role demonstrating professionalism, communication and relationship-building ability
🎯 The Ideal Profile
🎓 Educated to degree level
🚀 Bilingual/Multilingual (European Language) is an advantage
⚖️ Ideally educated in Law or a related discipline
✨ Highly polished and articulate
🗣️ A confident communicator
🤝 Naturally relationship-driven
