Legal Match

LegalMatch is a specialised intermediary in Bussum that works exclusively on the placement of experienced juristen and advocaten, for both permanent and interim positions. The company has traded under this focus since 2009 and describes itself as de juridische intermediair, running executive search for the legal market. Rather than covering several professional disciplines, it restricts itself to one, which allows its consultants to work the same candidate community and the same set of hiring organisations year after year.

The sectors LegalMatch serves within the legal market are set out clearly. Assignments are carried out in het bedrijfsleven, meaning in-house legal teams in commercial companies, in the semi-public and public sector, and in de advocatuur, the private practice law firm market. The vacancies it publishes show the seniority involved, covering partner level litigation, banking, corporate and ondernemingsrecht appointments, general counsel roles, senior M&A lawyers and offshore advocaat positions. The company also runs CVMentor, a service for legal professionals working on their applications, and it sits within a wider group presented on the site as the Match groep.

LegalMatch operates throughout the Netherlands from its office at Slochterenlaan 9 in Bussum. Employers approach it for the more difficult end of legal hiring, where a role needs a qualified lawyer with real practice experience and where both permanent and interim options need to be on the table for the same brief. Its site separates content for opdrachtgevers, covering dienstverlening, werkwijze and marktsegmenten, from content for juristen, so employers and candidates each see the relevant route. The company invites prospective clients to discuss a possible collaboration with one of its consultants on 035-6951554 without obligation, or by email to [email protected].
