The Found Group

The Found Group is a legal recruitment and career advisory company founded on the belief that recruitment works best when it is personal, honest, and aligned with what people actually want. Created by Sarah Wilson, the company helps lawyers make career moves that feel right and law firms make hiring decisions that last. After years working in the legal recruitment industry, The Found Group recognised how clear conversations and the right timing can shape careers in a meaningful way. The company's approach is simple: listen first, and only move forward when the path makes sense.

The Found Group specialises exclusively in legal recruitment, offering tailored services for both lawyers and law firms. For lawyers, the company provides ongoing career advisory and legal search services, helping professionals who are actively looking or just starting to explore what comes next. For law firms, The Found Group focuses on identifying lawyers who are the right cultural and professional fit, taking time to understand team dynamics, firm culture, and what success looks like beyond a CV. Rather than pursuing volume or rushed placements, the company prioritises fit, timing, and long-term outcomes.

Based in New Zealand, The Found Group serves the New Zealand legal market and has built trust amongst lawyers and law firms throughout the country. The company is trusted by legal professionals seeking insight, exploring career options, or planning ahead. By combining industry expertise with a commitment to meaningful relationships, The Found Group has established itself as a specialist partner for legal recruitment and career development in the New Zealand market.
