Walker Lovell is an international executive recruitment firm with its head office in Manchester. It says it has recruited across 43 countries and six continents for the past nine years.

Its work covers legal and professional services, including law firms from boutique to magic circle practices, with roles from newly qualified solicitors to partners. It also recruits in data, insights and information services, advanced manufacturing and engineered materials (with a core in automotive materials), and food, nutrition and consumer products. Further areas are corporate finance, investment and advisory, covering M&A advisers, mid market investment banks and private equity, and natural resources, including mining, metals, minerals, agribusiness and chemicals, where it also carries out executive search.

Clients range from established global businesses to high-growth and private equity backed companies. The firm says it builds shorter candidate lists from knowledge of a client's business, sector and culture.
