Relationships, trust and honest advice.
IRG Law was founded in 2019 on a simple principle: to act in the best interests of both clients and candidates.
Building on more than two decades of specialist legal recruitment experience, we combine long-standing relationships, an established network across the private practice legal sector and ongoing investment in market intelligence to help law firms and legal professionals make better-informed recruitment and career decisions.
Search built around your firm.
From Paralegal appointments to Partner moves, we select the approach that best reflects the objectives of the appointment rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Retained Search
Senior, business-critical or confidential appointments where discretion, structure and a tailored search approach are essential.
Executive Search
Partner, leadership and senior appointments requiring specialist legal recruitment expertise, long-standing relationships and informed market intelligence.
Contingency Search
Solicitors, legal professionals, business support and specialist private practice appointments where a flexible, performance-based recruitment model is preferred.
Fractional Talent Acquisition
Law firms requiring embedded, part-time talent acquisition expertise without the commitment of a full-time internal recruitment resource.
A considered and collaborative process.
Every instruction is unique, but our approach remains consistent. We work collaboratively, communicate openly and guide our clients through every stage with transparency and care.
