Dovetail Legal Recruitment

Dovetail Legal Recruitment is Australia’s only dedicated in-house legal recruiter. We place lawyers into companies, government bodies and not-for-profits, never law firms, from a first Legal Counsel hire to General Counsel.

Founded in 2015 by former lawyers, we have placed 650+ lawyers with 300+ organisations across Australia, including Uber, Medibank, NAB, Commonwealth Bank, Rio Tinto and Chemist Warehouse.

How we help:

• Permanent roles: 1.5% of salary (including super) per month for up to 12 months. Nothing is payable until the lawyer starts.
• Retained search for General Counsel and Head of Legal appointments.
• Legal secondees on our payroll, who can start within days, for parental leave, projects and workload spikes.
• Fixed-term contractors on your payroll.

Our fees and salary guide are published on our website. Lawyers talk to us because in-house is all we do, and we’ll tell them when a role isn’t right.
