DGP Legal

DGP Legal is a specialist legal recruitment firm based in Sydney. It places lawyers and legal support professionals with law firms and in-house teams across Australia. It says its work is built on over 30 years of market insight, and that since 1994 it has moved away from high-volume, transactional recruitment.

Its services include private practice placement, covering early-career lawyers, senior associates moving towards partnership, and partner and team relocations. It also fills legal and business support roles such as paralegals, legal secretaries and executive assistants, practice managers and HR professionals. The firm offers permanent placement, contract and temporary work, in-house team builds, and executive search for general counsel, partners and other legal executives. Candidates can also get career support, including resume writing and interview preparation, free of charge.

For candidates looking overseas, it works with specialist legal recruitment agencies in the UK, the US, APAC and New Zealand. Kristy Thorpe is Managing Director, Legal Support, and Jessica Fox is Associate Director, Legal Professionals.
