Private Practice

LPA Legal’s Private Practice division covers the recruitment needs of individual, qualified Lawyers from Newly Qualified to Senior Associate level. We work with a diverse range of firms, from Magic Circle to smaller, boutique practices. Our Private Practice division has the advantage of operating at the heart of a buoyant London legal market, yet with a distinctly international outlook.


The increasing presence of US law firms in London has created many opportunities for pan-Atlantic Lawyers. Through our experience in this area we have gained expert knowledge into the contrasting nature of US practices. As such, we are well-known for our US firm recruitment at associate level, having a significant reputation in placing American Attorneys with both US and UK firms based in London that have US law capability on the ground. Yet our international scope does not end there; we have placed candidates throughout Europe, Asia, in addition to our candidates placed in the USA.


Like our other divisions, LPA Legal Private Practice fosters positive, long-lasting relationships with both clients and candidates, leading to a high level of referrals. Regular contact with senior level fee-earners also allows us to be proactive in seeking out potential business, whilst enabling us to brief candidates on market trends.


Our consultants within LPA Legal Private Practice work with the utmost confidentiality, offering each candidate bespoke advice on their career options. Our level of service remains consistent whether we are assisting a newly qualified Lawyer or a senior associate. All our consultants come from a legal background and have used this knowledge to place candidates into all areas of Private Practice.


We advertise regularly in the legal press and have historically been one of the biggest advertisers in the Legal Week.


So if you have an interest in furthering your career in Private Practice and have direct, relevant experience or appropriate transferable skills, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your career options. We appreciate it can be difficult to talk whilst at work, hence our consultants are available on their desk and mobile phones at times suitable to you. Their full contact details can be located on our Contact Us page.
