Why Realm?
The legal recruitment market has never been more competitive. So why do law firms and lawyers alike keep choosing to work with us in particular?


A refreshingly collaborative, dynamic and human approach to legal recruitment and careers
Let’s face it – recruitment often gets a bad rep. Realm was set up to provide the legal market with something different. Where long-term relationships and doing the right thing would come before money, and where everyone was working toward the same goal: making sure the right lawyers are matched with the right firms, at the right time.
We’re nice people, we’re good at what we do – and you might even want to have a pint with us every now and again (not essential and we won’t be offended).

So what makes us the best in the market at doing just this?
We’re incomparably specialist
Lawyers specialise in one area to become true experts in their field – and our recruiters are no different. With each of our consultants covering just one practice area in a focused region, we know pretty much every lawyer you might want to recruit and every law firm you might want to join. We build close, long-term relationships with our engaged communities of lawyers and are therefore better able to connect the right people to the right firms.
We’re consultative
We’re not just here for lawyers when they are looking to move. We partner with legal professionals throughout their careers and provide advice on everything from salary benchmarking to helping you smash an upcoming appraisal. For law firms, we provide an end-to-end, insight-driven service and partner with firms to deliver unique insight that will help you differentiate in a crowded talent market, cut time-to-hire and minimise the opportunity cost of empty seats. We ask the right questions of law firms and lawyers at each stage of the recruitment process, so we can put the right lawyers in front of you and take the guesswork and risk out of recruitment.
We are brand ambassadors
We are your megaphone in the legal talent market. Whether by representing a lawyer in their search for a new opportunity or utilising our in-house marketing team to help a law firm build their employer brand, we’re experts in building a presence and helping the right lawyers and law firms find each other.
We're trusted by wonderful companies
