Our team of former lawyers are well placed to assist and include those who have worked in-house themselves.The use of in-house legal counsel in Australia and throughout the English-speaking world has increased in recent years, and shows no sign of retreat. Some businesses that previously employed a team of one or two lawyers now have teams of many, making in-house legal counsel a significant aspect of legal recruitment for us.

Lawyers are drawn to work in corporate counsel roles for the closer working relationships, chance to participate in commercial decision making, and to be freed from the chains of their time-sheets! We understand the personality types who succeed as in-house counsel and we advise our lawyers about the differences between in-house counsel roles and private practice.
