Sigma Legal Search

Sigma Legal Search is a legal recruitment business working with talented lawyers and ambitious law firms nationally and internationally. The company was born out of a desire to do things differently, recognising the value that a carefully handled, well-thought-out recruitment process adds to a lawyer's career trajectory whilst simultaneously contributing to long-term talent retention for clients. At Sigma Legal Search, the primary aim is to create lasting relationships built on trust, integrity and honesty, listening before speaking and qualifying candidates' motivators before presenting them with specific, relevant opportunities. The company takes a detailed brief and fully understands mandates before sharing CVs with clients, ensuring a collaborative approach rather than generic job listings.

Sigma Legal Search specialises in legal recruitment across all lawyer levels, from trainees and newly-qualified solicitors through to Associates and Partners. The company provides services to qualified lawyers of all levels and maintains strong client contacts in the majority of top UK and US law firms. The recruitment services encompass trainee support during the culmination of training contracts, Associate placements involving thorough consultative approaches to understand motivators and long-term goals, and Partner or Partner Designate moves managed with sensitivity and strict confidentiality. Additionally, Sigma Legal Search offers both contingent recruitment models and retained search methodology to target the best hires in the industry, supporting clients with strategic associate and lateral partner hires integral to their business growth.

Sigma Legal Search operates across the United Kingdom, with a particular presence in London and Manchester. The company is fully committed to supporting equality and diversity at all levels in the workplace and is compliant with GDPR regulations, carefully and sensitively handling client and candidate data. Clients choose Sigma Legal Search for its market knowledge, experience in talking to hundreds of lawyers at various career stages, and its ability to identify and mitigate issues early in the recruitment process. The company's consultative approach, transparent communication at all stages, and willingness to provide impartial advice throughout decision-making processes distinguish it from other recruiters in the legal sector.
