Legal Circles helps you choose the best lawyer for your law firm.
Our service is VERY DIFFERENT from other recruitment agencies.
There are NO COMMISSIONS to pay, just a simple hourly rate for work done. Because our remuneration does not depend on "selling" a candidate to you, our advice is completely independent and unbiased. And it means you can have very open and honest discussions with us about your specific needs and the best fit for your firm.
With Legal Circles you have a sounding board and an impartial adviser to help you work through your very important decision as to whom to employ.
