We’re specialists, just like you

Just as lawyers focus on one area of the law, our consultants specialise in specific practice areas. This expertise gives us the insight and connections to match lawyers with firms that align with their goals, often uncovering roles others can’t.

Law firms value our approach, too. With strong relationships and deep market knowledge, we help build teams that last. By prioritising partnerships over placements, we make recruitment work for everyone.

The Realm Promise

At Realm, everything we do starts with you. We focus on building lasting partnerships with lawyers and law firms, not just making placements. Our service is built on three key principles: 

  • It’s about you (not us): we’re on hand with tailored advice and support, whether you’re actively searching or just exploring your options. 
  • We’ll keep you in the loop: clear, proactive communication at every stage. 
  • Cost clarity: we’re upfront with transparent fees with no hidden costs.
