IRG Law Ltd
A strategic hiring discussion between two professionals
For hiring firms

Successful hiring should feel considered, efficient and aligned to your firm's long-term goals.

By combining specialist legal recruitment expertise, an established private practice network and informed market intelligence, we help law firms make better-informed hiring decisions and secure legal professionals who align with their culture, structure and long-term ambitions.

Our approach

The way a law firm is represented in the market matters.

We take time to understand your firm properly: its culture, structure, growth plans and the type of people who will succeed within it. That insight allows us to represent your business accurately and present opportunities in a way that resonates with the right legal talent.

From Paralegal appointments to Partner moves, we offer Retained, Executive, Contingency and Fractional Talent Acquisition solutions, selecting the approach that best reflects the objectives of the appointment rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Our services

Four ways to engage.

Every instruction is different. We recommend the model that fits the appointment, the market and your firm's objectives.

Retained Search

Senior, business-critical or confidential appointments where discretion, structure and a tailored search approach are essential.

Executive Search

Partner, leadership and senior appointments requiring specialist legal recruitment expertise, long-standing relationships and informed market intelligence.

Contingency Search

Solicitors, legal professionals, business support and specialist private practice appointments where a flexible, performance-based recruitment model is preferred.

Fractional Talent Acquisition

Law firms requiring embedded, part-time talent acquisition expertise without the commitment of a full-time internal recruitment resource.

Our recruitment process

A considered and collaborative process.

Every instruction is unique, but our approach remains consistent. We work collaboratively, communicate openly and guide our clients from brief through to successful placement.

We understand your firm before representing it.

We take time to understand your culture, structure, growth plans and the type of people who succeed within it, so we can represent your firm accurately in the market.

Retained, Executive, Contingency or Fractional — we select the approach that reflects the objectives of the appointment rather than applying one model to every instruction.

We combine relationships with market intelligence.

We guide the process closely.

From brief to offer and onboarding, we communicate openly at every stage so there are no surprises for you or the candidate.
