Legal Recruitment

Legal recruitment, brought into focus.

Iris Legal Group connects ambitious lawyers with the firms and in-house teams where they'll do their best work — modern search, run with precision, speed, and real market insight.

For firms & in-house teams

Clients.

Give us the brief and we'll bring back a focused shortlist of lawyers who fit — technically, culturally, and for the long term. Less volume, more signal.

01

Retained & confidential search

Partner, team, and senior lawyer hires, run discreetly from brief to signed offer.

02

Market mapping

A clear read of who's out there, who's genuinely movable, and what it takes to move them.

03

A real shortlist

A handful of suitable people, each with real context — not a stack of forwarded CVs.
