We are working with a leading London law firm that is building an exciting new chapter: the establishment of its Employment Law practice. The firm has recently welcomed a dynamic new Head of Employment Law with a strong reputation in the field—so strong, in fact, that their personal workload is already exceeding capacity.

Our client is looking for an ambitious and experienced Junior Partner or Legal Director (including Senior Associate / Of Counsel
) who is ready for partnership. Ideally, you'll bring expertise in both contentious and non‑contentious employment law, but the firm is open to those who focus more on one than the other.

• Less need for a large following – the firm has significant untapped work ready to be serviced.
• Strong internal referrals – thanks to a top‑tier corporate and commercial client base already in place.
• A genuinely collegiate culture – regular social events, cross‑team collaboration, and a progressive leadership ethos.
• Competitive Pay but with a healthy work life balance.

• Comes from a respected law firm with solid technical knowledge.
• Ideally has one or two relationships to bring across; the more they have, the better the entry‑level earnings.
• Is looking for a clear, supported route to equity.
• Wants to play a pivotal role in shaping a growing team.
• Enjoys rolling up their sleeves to develop business as well as service it.

Segal Placements is a leading Executive Search Firm placing senior lawyers within private practice, both in London/The South‑East and abroad. Over the course of many years, a number of our consultants have placed some of the most notable practitioners into some of the most prestigious firms in the world, whilst others focus on helping ‘boutique’ firms, or smaller regional or provincial firms.

We have experience not only on individual placements but also on team moves, bolt‑ons & mergers and office openings. We are proud of maintaining an utterly discrete and tailored approach for all of the clients and candidates who we work with.
