Leffler Search

Leffler Search is a practice-led legal recruitment agency that provides highly personalised legal recruitment services to both attorneys and law firms. The company draws on unparalleled expertise in target practice areas and the latest legal market research, offering support from initial enquiry through to final offer negotiation. Leffler Search distinguishes itself by recruiting by practice rather than by volume, ensuring that every shortlist arrives with contextual knowledge rather than a stack of resumes, and welcomes all enquiries from candidates seeking their next career move or firms seeking to hire.

Based in London at 1 Mark Square, Leffler Search operates with a research and consultancy team that works continuously to remain informed and up-to-date on both the legal market and evolving specialisms. The company has built its reputation on a highly personalised approach, learning each candidate's practice before outreach, representing attorneys only where they wish to be seen, and staying engaged through interviews and offer stages. Clients choose Leffler Search for their unparalleled market knowledge, smooth process, and commitment to matching candidates with positions where their skills will be genuinely valued and rewarded.
